"Valkeapaa is one of the Sami people, an indigenous ethnic group (formerly called Lapps) of northern Scandinavia and Russia. He was born to a reindeer herding family, but left to become an artist. The breathtaking drawings and the dazzling jacket and endpapers are his... The drawings often continue seamlessly over the edges of the pages, so that a single line across a double page turns, as the page turns, to a horizon line, following the lines of the poetry... It is clearly, very clearly, lyrical, expressing an organic relation to the natural world."—The Beloit Poetry Journal"His poems rise directly from the Yoik tradition, at once intimately personal, traditional and evocative of a huge landscape."—W. S., Merwin Translation Review
