Description
In a remote Alaskan fishcamp, Salmon Woman—a shapeshifting storyteller, scientist, and cultural memory keeper—tells stories by way of poems about the intimate bond between salmon, people, and the place they both call home.
As these poems shimmer, weave, and flow on the page, they capture the rhythms of rural island life and the changes wrought by climate crisis. Salmon are not just sustenance but identity, and as the environment shifts, so does the lifeweb that binds communities to the fish they depend on. Both warning and wonder, the collection honors ancestral knowledge while imagining a future where resilience and connection endure.
