Summary:
"In Saga, the permafrost is melting and the secrets frozen within are emerging. Nothing is spared, from the old family recipe for pineapple cheesecake to the portrait of an ancestor, from the wife who sleeps with an axe under her bed to the tough heart of a man that beats beneath the skin. With an uneasy grace, these poems explore questions of love, sexuality, family, friendship and politics. They visit a childhood playground in a storm women painted on the walls of churches, and fjords and riot grrrls of Hannah Mettner's history. They are woven through with wild blackberry and everyday magic."--Back cover.
