Coleridge is perhaps one of the most well known poets of all time, and Chris Orsman is an acclaimed New Zealand poet. They are linked by the writing of imaginative and historical poetry about Antarctica, registering already known details. There is a subjective overlay to the poetry, and also to histoty, which both acknowledge. Neither Coleridge or Orsman travelled to the continent or the Southern Ocean before publishing.
