HarperCollins Publishers is proud to release KIHIANI by Susan Aglukark with Andrea Warner, out now. This deeply moving memoir from one of Canada’s most celebrated artists traces Aglukark’s journey of healing and self-discovery, weaving together trauma, resilience, and the redemptive power of art. Within moments of it arriving on Amazon, it quickly became a Top 10 on numerous sections, including Composer & Musician Biographies.
Born in Fort Churchill, Manitoba, and raised in Arviat on the western edges of Hudson Bay, Aglukark grew up in a humble but loving home with six siblings. At age eight, while living in Rankin Inlet, her life was disrupted by a profound event that created a lasting inner schism. Writing poetry at fifteen became a lifeline, and eventually music carried her into a career that would reshape Canadian arts and culture. From her early feature on a CBC Arctic artists compilation to signing with a major label for her third album This Child, Aglukark has consistently transformed personal struggle into anthems of hope.
