THE AUTHOR'S LAST PRIVATE STASH!!!
Long out of print, Melinda offered these for sell on our site. We could not be more excited to offer once again unused copies of this book! We only have twenty-five and when they're gone, they're gone for good.
What the Ice Gets: Shackleton's Antarctic Expedition, 1914-1916
Originally published by Van West & Company.
The ice has found a worthy poet — Andrea Barrett.
The whole poem is gripping to the end — Booklist (starred review).
Blending historical, scientific, and literary scholarship with an impressive range of poetic forms, Seattle poet Melinda Mueller re-creates one of the most astounding survival stories.
What the Ice Gets is an adventure story, a requiem, and a love poem written to twenty-eight heroes and the mythic landscape they set out to explore but that instead explored them. Both passionate and precise, this is a moving and powerful telling of one of the last century's greatest voyages.
