The award winning author's fourth book of poetry finds her meditating on the heroic journey of famed polar explorer Robert Falcon Scott (1868-1912). The poems are adapted from Scott's journals of the doomed Terra Nova expedition of 1910-13. Through disciplined beautifully descriptive verse [Linda Pastan] Roberts creates an epic that chronicles an expedition to the South Pole [Francisco Aragón] which has seldom been told with such formal control flashes of color and suspense.
