| Summary: | Ishmael Hope is a storyteller, poet, and writer who explores his Inupiaq and Tlingit heritages. His Inupiaq name is Angaluuk and his Tlingit name is Khaagwaask'. Courtesans of Flounder Hill is his first collection of poetry and is published by Ishmael Reed Publishing Company. According to the late Richard Dauenhauer, Ishmael Hope "reminds us how each of us is central in a multigenerational relationship involving ancestry, self, and descendants; heritage, contemporary culture, and legacy; an unbroken chain of storytellers, daily life, and dreams, always negotiating, in the words of T. S. Eliot, between tradition and the individual talent." Ishmael Hope is also the author of the comic book Strong Man and was the lead writer for the highly acclaimed video game Kisima Ingitchuna: Never Alone.
