The Earth Is Not Flat - Katharine Coles

In 2010, Poet Katharine Coles Sailed Across The Drake Passage To Spend A Month At A Tiny Antarctic Science Station Under The Auspices Of The National Science Foundations Antarctic Artists And Writers Program. The Earth Is Not Flat, The Collection Of Poems Written Out Of Her Adventure, Invokes The Vast Land- And Seascapes As Well As The Faunapenguins, Seals, Whales, And Scientistsshe Encountered Along The Way. Addressing Not Only The Present Reality Of Human Habitation In Antarctica But Also A Rich History Peopled By Figures Like Shackleton, Scott, And Amundsen, The Poems Bring Coles Much-praised Intelligence, Passion, And Humor To Bear On Subjects Ranging From Writing A Grant Proposal For Scientists To Heavy Seas To The Addictive Potential Of Joy.
