Further information:
"A sonnet from my Greenlandic series, originally published in Modern Poetry in Translation as 'The Hunter Teaches Me To Speak', has been recast by Gross and Schell in a new, experimental setting. Gross writes, "It is an intimate work that takes its scale from the human body, and contrasts it with the little known culture of Greenland, which could easily stand for any culture which is foreign to us. Learning another language means understanding the foundations of a culture, its evocative past as well as its aspirations for the future. It requires a sensitivity to the body and its ability to make sounds." 'Tikilluarit' is the Greenlandic word for 'welcome." (from http://www.nancycampbell.co.uk)
