I've never read anything quite like this, so s very unique reading experience. Love nature, love reading about Antarctica. Part travelogue, memoir, poetry, with some fantastic photographs. The photos alone are worth my four star rating, they are just gorgeous. Animals, setting, plus unique entries chronicling her journeys.

Intertidal

"brittle star, krill, sap, weed
whats left by ebb or flung
another story beneath/along our floated,
floating stories"

"Rough. Chop on top of swell. Passengers stagger the gangway.
I idle bow in, wait my turn for pickup. Gust off the glacier-
hunch away-slaps my shoulder like a stupid cousin. Water down neck."

Just a few examples, the above on a shore excursion.

Love when authors/poets try new forms, new ideas and execute them well.
