Sobre IBD

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.' [Reginald Harris]
