Diversity has always been central to Alaska identity, as the state’s population consists of people with many different backgrounds, viewpoints and life experiences. This book opens a window onto these diverse lives, gathering stories and poems about lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer life into a brilliant, path-breaking anthology. "Building Fires in the Snow" celebrates the diverse LGBTQ communities thriving in the cities and rural areas at the edge of Alaska’s rugged wilderness.
