Iktsuarpok is an extraordinary first collection with careful, precise poems that remind us of the delicacy of the world we live in, but also the beauty in small things. Nora Nadjarian's surprising mixture of emotionally resonant language and surreal imagery make this collection a strange and haunting look at our world. These razor-sharp and richly evocative poems make us look differently at human isolation, rethink our relationship with climate and nature, and observe the absurdity of contemporary life in a moving and lucid way.
