"Underfoot
By Niillas Holmberg
Translated from Northern Sámi by Jennifer Kwon Dobbs & Johanna Domokos
White Pine Press

Niillas Holmberg’s Underfoot is something more than a book of poetry. It is a textual-visual journey into the topography of language, memory, symbolism, loss, forced assimilation, and resilience of the Sámi indigenous people. Composed in Holmberg’s mother tongue of Northern Sámi, the untitled poems appear against undulating illustrations by Sámi artist Inga-Wiktoria Påve. Drawing on the ‘joik’ chants of his people, Holmberg renews primordial oral traditions with his distinctive contemporary voice. In the expert hands of translators Johanna Domokos and Jennifer Kwon Dobbs, Holmberg’s poetry comes to life in a language at once earthy and esoteric, returning us to ancient rhythms reverberating with the urgency of our time: “Time to return to the feet / Underfoot there’s a drum / skin carved with human letters.”
