Contributions by Joan Naviyuk Kane:

Broadside of the poem “The Doll (A Pretend Person)” / “Mammaraq (Innuŋŋuuraq)” by Joan Naviyuk Kane with art by Lisa Sette. The image is a close up dark gray and blue photograph, that could be an extreme close up of a cell or photographic negative of topography from the air, according to the poet. The poem rests on top of the image in white text, with the title in dark blue/gray resting on top of the photograph itself.

Collaborator’s Q&A: Poet Joan Naviyuk Kane: The visual image could be the photographic negative of topography from the air, a cell, or the detail from a larger work.
Artist Lisa Sette: The poem carried me to unusual strands of memories.
