About this product
Product Information
Poetry that crafts a prismatic vision of Nativeness at the intersection of language, history, family, and identity Winner of Colorado Book Award in Poetry Category Finalist for the Griffin International Poetry Prize In How to Dress a Fish , poet Abigail Chabitnoy, of Aleut descent, addresses the lives disrupted by US Indian boarding school policy. She pays particular attention to the life story of her great grandfather, Michael, who was taken from the Baptist Orphanage, Wood Island, Alaska, and sent to Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania. Incorporating extracts from Michael's boarding school records and early Russian ethnologies?while engaging Alutiiq language, storytelling motifs, and traditional practices?the poems form an act of witness and reclamation. In uncovering her own family records, Chabitnoy works against the attempted erasure, finding that while legislation such as the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act reconnects her to community, through blood and paper, it could not restore the personal relationships that had already been severed.

Reviews
"How to Dress a Fish is a stunning investigation of archive, loss, and kinship. These poems linger in histories erased by US colonialism--not toward recovery, but to study those modalities of mourning, attachment, and invention through which living proceeds nonetheless.--Matt Hooley, Assistant Professor of English, Clemson University Never before have readers been of a mind to apprehend such prodigious poems. Determined by the wealth and control of their poet's language and the most profound respect for the powers of history, this work insists upon the necessity of poetry. Poems like these change the world, connecting us to each other and all else that sustains life. Herein, the lyric bones are barbed and all the crafts: laden. Not in division, but through the responsibility and gifts of this most crucial poet: Abigail Chabitnoy. With her poems, together we may, as real people, spring from and return to the islands, the sea, and the ice with utmost elegance. Traveling together, and most attentive to our context.--Joan Kane, 2018 Guggenheim Fellow in Poetry This essential and captivating debut, How To Dress A Fish, will draw readers into intersections of history, memory, exile and return. Abigail Chabitnoy's poems are tender and direct--they restore worlds, mend fragmented histories by revealing our human longing for land and for memories embraced in language."--Sherwin Bitsui, author of Shapeshift and Flood Song, "This essential and captivating debut, How To Dress A Fish , will draw readers into intersections of history, memory, exile and return.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
