This unique anthology brings together a diverse range of the state's most respected contemporary poets and writers—including Kim Heacox, Seth Kantner, dg nanouk okpik, Heather Lende and Frank Soos—alongside original, full-color artwork from 19 Alaskan visual artists such as Alvin Amason, Ray Troll, Sara Tabbert and rising talents like Valisa Higman and Crystal Jackson.
More than 90 species and natural elements—from grizzly bears and glaciers to lichens, loons and the aurora borealis—are brought to life through poetic reflections, vivid prose and detailed scientific natural histories. Each "Being" is paired with a piece of writing and illustration that captures its essence, while also offering cultural knowledge, ecological context and insight into population health and environmental threats.
Organized by ecosystem, Alaska Literary Field Guide is both an artistic tribute and an educational invitation to connect with the land, water, wildlife and spirit of the Last Frontier. It's a field guide like no other—both a reference and a work of art.
