Surface Displacements - Paperback

by Sheila Packa (Author)

For the preservation of wilderness and among those who search for home, these poems travel through mine pits and waterways vulnerable to environmental damage and climate change in Minnesota, where the Northern Continental Divide crosses the Laurentian Divide and creates three watersheds that flow into the Mississippi River, the Great Lakes, and Hudson Bay. These stories and images, historical and contemporary, capture the beauty of the north and the resilience of people who are displaced, whose language is replaced, and who find a fluid space full of risk and possibility.
