Glimmer: From the Outskirts of Greenland

'Ilona Wiśniewska spent many months in northern Greenland. While working on Glimmer, she took her time, not withdrawing into her own emotions. She stayed as close as possible to Inughuit life, whose principles were established by ancestral customs, climate, and nature. And she proved that Greenland's singularity has a captivating power.'

-- Paweł Smoleński * Book of the Week *

'In Wiśniewska's work, photographs are an integral part of the characters' identity . . . the snapshots of life in Greenland, captured by the author, perfectly complement this sometimes lyrical story.'

-- Agnieszka Warnke * NIKE 2023 for Zyta Rudzka *

'Wiśniewska . . . has a strong, if challenging, relationship with the North. And she manages to write about it in such a way that for a few hours of reading, we are transported to the Arctic with her.'

-- Maria Mazurek * Frosty Lands that Inspire Admiration *

'To create a good report, you need to know how to listen. Ilona Wiśniewska knows how to do that.'

-- Anna Kiełczewska

'Rather than a description of frost-inspired sensory experiences . . . we get a picture of a world composed of pride and disappointment, hopelessness and beauty, in which people and animals interact in complicated ways.'

-- Marcin Cielecki, Poet of Archipelag Lewi
