flag Poet Kimberly M. Blaeser, a member of the White Earth Nation and former Wisconsin poet laureate, is being honored by the National Book Foundation for her poetry collection *Ancient Light*, which blends science, spirituality, and Indigenous wisdom. flag Her work, rooted in Anishinaabe traditions that connect nature, science, and spiritual understanding, explores themes of resilience, kinship, and healing. flag The poem "About Standing (In Kinship)" uses the human foot’s 26 bones as a metaphor for strength found in community and solidarity, written during the pandemic and amid national unrest following George Floyd’s death. flag Blaeser will accept the award in New York, continuing her mission to highlight the interdependence of people, nature, and culture through lyrical storytelling.
