Book Description
Mar Ka lives in and writes from the foothills of Alaska’s Chugach Mountains. Be-Hooved, her new poetry collection, creates a layered spiritual memoir of her decades in the northern wilderness. The poems inhabit her surroundings—structured along the seasons and the migration patterns of the Porcupine Caribou Herd—and are wrought with a fine and luminous language. Entrancing, profound, and startling, this book is a testament to hope before change, persistence before confusion, and empathy before difference: all the world’s light and all the world’s dark / can fit into an eye into a heart.

At forty, it appears Ellie de Florent-Smith has everything she ever wanted: a handsome husband, an accomplished college-age stepdaughter, adorable and rambunctious six-year-old twin boys, homes in the city, desert and beach, a thriving career as a well-known fashion designer, and a glamorous circle of friends. Except everything is not quite as perfect as it looks on the outside. Scrubbing her past of its shadows has a cost, and all of Ellie s secrets come to light on the night of her fabulous birthday party where everyone who matters in her life shows up, invited or not, and the beautiful facade of her life crumbles in one night.
