About this product
Product Information
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 Foundation's 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 fauna--penguins, seals, whales, and scientists--she 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. Along the way, she continues her passionate meditation on reality and our place in it, using as her vehicles both the natural world and the human-created worlds of art, history, and science.

Reviews
"Most of us will never see much less experience Antarctica. It doesn't matter, Katharine Cole takes us there through these searing and seering poems. Ice becomes a mirror to our psyche as well as a phenomenon of change. Climate science becomes the physics of consciousness. This is a book of witness." -Terry Tempest Williams, "Katharine Coles sails to Antarctica and a takes a fresh and startled look at a world that seems first hand in these lucid, well-made, scientifically alert, precise, and bedazzled poems." --Edward Hirsch, "This thrillingly perceptive collection assumes manifold lenses as a means of understanding extreme reaches of climate, geography, and human resilience. Katharine Coles's expedition to Antarctica provided the catalyst for these mindsparking meditations on time and knowledge, perception and scale. Rugged terrain would be an understatement for the sublimely desolate wilds encountered. It is a world profoundly experienced and above all, noticed. Under Katharine Cole's delicate, mindful scrutiny, reality shivers and restlessly reinvents itself." --Alice Fulton, "Katharine Coles' The Earth Is Not Flat captures the essence of Antarctica through its wonderful depictions of myriad forms of ice, rich diversity of sea life, and the people that carve out a life of science upon its shores. Collectively, the poems paint a poignant and prophetic story-not only of the raw and challenging beauty of this remarkable place-but of the interdependence of ice and life in a rapidly changing environment." -James McClintock, Endowed University Professor of Polar and Marine Biology, author of Lost Antarctica: Adventures in a Disappearing Land, "Katharine Coles sails to Antarctica and a takes a fresh and startled look at a world that seems first hand in these lucid, well-made, scientifically alert, precise, and bedazzled poems." -Edward Hirsch, "Most of us will never see much less experience Antarctica.

Book was listed as 'very good' condition, but when it arrived the cover had stains, creases and folds, and a small tear on one edge. It was packaged ok and the packaging was not damaged, so this was not something that happened during shipping. I messaged them and they replied quickly and instructed me to initiate a return through eBay. I was refunded the full price in less than an hour. Great customer service!

I had thought by the title that the content was centered around the flat earth vs globe argument.
