| Publisher Description: A debut collection from an exciting new voice in Alaska poetry, Overwinter reconciles the natural quiet of wilderness with the clamor of built environments. Jeremy Pataky's migration between Anchorage and Wrangell-St. Elias National Park inspires these poems that connect urban to rural. This duality permeates Overwinter. Moments are at turns fevered or serene. The familial and romantic are measured against the wildness of the Far North. Empty spaces bring both solace and loneliness in full. Past loves haunt the present, surviving in the spaces sculpted by language. |
Contributor Bio(s): Pataky, Jeremy: - Jeremy Pataky is vice president of the 49 Alaska Writing Center. He divides his time between Anchorage and the town of McCarthy. |
