Nunami: Poems from the Arctic
Barbara Landry
In the summer of 2011, Landry was in Pangnirtung, Nunavut, studying Inuktitut and Inuit culture through the university of Manitoba. This time spent in the North is the subject of her current book, nunami: Poems from the Arctic. In this work she outlines the grandeur of the northern landscape, as well as everyday life in Pangnirtung. She writes about the developing relationships with her Inuit hosts: friendship, family bonds, celebration, and loss are some of the themes she explores. The poems are easily accessible and her use of Inuktitut syllabics creates a stunning visual on the page. In this collection of poetry, Landry gives us a thoughtful glimpse into the heart of Inuit culture.
