Synopsis
"These poems erupted in the East Greenlanders heart-the human sea at the outer limit of the north-on Earth's most desolate and rugged shores. They were found in the living tradition of a small, recently discovered Eskimo people that I (Thalbitzer) had gone to study. For the first time I heard their language as it sounded on people's lips, as it must have sounded through many generations. I understood that this was part of the Inuit people's ancient poetry, and these songs and poems deserved to be written down for greater humanity." -from the introduction
