Description

Winner, 2023 Donald Hall Prize for Poetry | Named an <i>Anchorage Daily News</i> Favorite Book of 2024 | Longlist, 2024 Julie Suk Award<br><br>Landscape and language drive the poems in <i>Absent Here</i>, which explore loss, community, the changing environment, and whiteness of skin and scenery against the backdrop of the Alaskan North Slope of the author’s youth. More than mere background, the land and water become characters in their own right, guiding syntactic forms and flowing reflections. Bret Shepard merges cultural experiences with meditative moments, ensuring that the voices and stories of this community are not lost to time, as so much has been already.
