A road through the boreal forest reads like a map of climate upheaval. Those houses with broken doorknobs--a legacy of government regulation over Indigenous life. Corinna Cook, who was born white on Áak'w Kwáan Tlingit land in Juneau, Alaska, wrestles with the past and future into Canada's Yukon Territory. With writing that blends research and reverie, her essays ask how we might come into right relations with our most difficult, shared histories. How can we carry the past together, in a good way, as the land melts? The answers--elusive as they are--carry global resonance, taking shape through a deeply personal lens combined with careful study of local arts, artifacts, maps, and the land we depend on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Corinna Cook\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e West Virginia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/24\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.69w x 0.82d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781959000709\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCorinna Cook is the author of the essay collection \u003ci\u003eLeavetakings. \u003c\/i\u003eHer writing appears in \u003ci\u003ePloughshares\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAlaska Quarterly Review\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAssay: A Journal of Nonfiction Studies\u003c\/i\u003e, and elsewhere.
