A timely work of literary travel, The Waking Glacier embarks on an Arctic sea voyage as a dawning, existential immersion in the larger-than-human world. Bringing episodic memory and ecopoetic inquiry to polar exploration, Dianne Chisholm rediscovers her queer, formative engagement with the ice. This is not a chronicle of heroic adventuring but a crystallizing sensorium, synthesizing expedition log, revisionary history, uncanny remembrance, and inventive prosody. Punctuated by her atmospheric photographs, Chisholm's lyric offers a powerful meditation on perception, loss, and the role of art in witnessing climate change. The Waking Glacier will resonate with readers of Juliana Spahr, Rebecca Solnit, Robert Macfarlane, and Ellen Meloy, as well as scholars in environmental humanities and decolonial studies.
