Arkhtic\u00f3s Dolor\u00f4s<\/em><\/h4>\n

The poem collection Arkhtic\u00f3s Dolor\u00f4s<\/em> (2021) is about arctic pain, the experience of the colonized, Greenland\u2019s unique geo-political situation and global warming. It is definitely harsh themes but a wild and playful humour is simultaneously bubbling in-between the texts\u2019 melting ice blocks.<\/p>\n

In the poem collection, topics are admirably compiled which in the last quarter of a century has occupied Kleemann: the modern human\u2019s abuse of nature, the loss of the original people\u2019s culture and the fight lying ahead, where the descendants of the Greenlandic Innuits have to find a new identity in a modern, globalized present.<\/p>\n

Jessie Kleemann was among one of the first to reinterpret the myth about the Ocean\u2019s Mother as a modern symbol for pollution and environmental disaster. In Arkhtic\u00f3s Dolor\u00f4s, <\/em>the figure is duplicated in the shape of a \u201ccold creature\u201d, the ice and glaciers inua<\/em>, soul or creature, whose pain gruesomely backlashes at humankind. Kleemann thus shares from an original people\u2019s experiences with humans\u2019 completely fundamental interdependence on nature, which they themselves are a part of \u2013 interpreted in a late modern, globalized present. Therefore, her texts resonate with multiple people and have a great Nordic and international potential.<\/p>\n

Jessie Kleemann is born in 1959 in Upernavik, Northern Greenland. Arkhtic\u00f3s Dolor\u00f4s is nominated for Nordic Council Literature Prize this year.<\/em><\/p>\n
