About The Book
The stark, powerful poetry of the Inuit was created out of the need to share individual joy or sorrow with others. Spare and bold, the poems in this selection — the first for young readers — speak straight to the heart.
For the Inuit, to make poetry is as natural as to breathe; indeed, the same word covers both activities. Poems are literally “sung out with the breath.”
One poet told the explorer Knud Rasmussen, who collected many of the poems, “All songs are born to man out in the great wastes. Sometimes they come to us like weeping, deep from the pangs of the heart, sometimes like a playful laughter which springs from the joy that life and the wonderful expanses of the world around us provide.”
In this selection, poems by Inuit men and women are accompanied by the expressive oil paintings of the artist Maryclare Foa. Like the poems themselves, her painting are at once direct and mysterious, as if they cloak some inner mystery.
As Piuvkaq, a poet of the Utkuhikjalik of Great Fish River, puts it:
A wonderful occupation
Making songs!
The poems in this book were largely collected by the Danish ethnologist Knud Rasmussen or his colleague, Peter Freuchen, in the course of the Fifth Thule Expedition of 1921-24, the most accessible account of which is in Rasmussen’s Across Arctic America (1927, reprinted 1970).
Rasmussen’s book and his expedition reports vividly portray many of the poets, including Aua and Uvavnik, a man and woman of the Iglulik people of Lyon Inlet; Orpingalik and Nakasuk of the Netsilingmiut; Igjugarjuk of Pâdlermiut; and other poets, named and anonymous, of the Inuit peoples of North America and Greenland.
The poems have been selected by folklorist Neil Philip, who also provides an introduction.
