with snow pouring southward past the window

|9780822967668|Poems| Included in LitHub’s Most Anticipated Poetry of 2026 The poems in with snow pouring southward past the window turn with and for relatives and beloveds across seas and oceans, continents and nations, languages and histories. In this collection, public and personal archives work with literary translations across several dialects of the Inupiaq language, and re-complexify Arctics at a time when empires once again seem interested in flattening and erasing millennia of Indigenous inhabitation, care, and situatedness. It was written between Massachusetts, Inuit Nunaat, Sápmi, the “Old World” and through waves of overlapping pandemics, political and social exigencies, and solidarities….

Purchase

|9780822967293|Poems|Purchase is for those who are grieving, who feel frightened by the world’s meanness, who are solitary. It is for those who, even in the midst of mourning, find themselves distracted from despair by the natural world. It is for everyone looking to find comfort and understanding. From a hidden river in upstate New York to a massive flood in Kentucky, currents of all strengths run through these poems, taking the reader through grief, estrangement, and the too-often unseen interiority of Black women, landing at a new perspective, the light of faith dawning.| Lyrae Van Clief-Stefanon| Pitt Poetry Series| Poetry…
