Contemplating the cruelty in reality with the truth of poetry seems to be the only path to tread between snow and fire in recent winter days. Aednan, as it recites the life of a Sámi family over more than a century, starting in early spring in 1913, appears to be the place that remains for those who are being chased away from memories; expelled from history.
