Summary Milk Black Carbon works against the narratives of dispossession and survival that mark the contemporary experience of many Indigenous people, and Inuit in particular. In this collection, autobiographical details -- motherhood, marriage, extended family and its geographical context in the rapidly changing Arctic -- negotiate arbitrary landscapes of our perplexing frontiers through fragmentation and interpretation of conventional lyric expectations
