Description
Summary:A journey of the utmost importance, of heart, mind, and that unknown territory called the imagination: Encounters at the Poles combines the aesthetics of the human imagination and the poetics of polar landscapes in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The Arctic and Antarctic terrains swallowed up ships, men, and their belongings, which upon being found, were buried once again in museums and archives. Utilizing the historic imagination, voices from multiple narrators project the reader to specific times and places in a journey from the North Pole to archives in London and Copenhagen to the South Pole and back again. It is a soliloquy full of hope, despair and yearning. Master of Fine Arts (MFA) http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/60929/1/2008_Eck_MFA_Thesis.pdf
