What the Ice Gets
Melinda Mueller


Poetry 118 Pages ISBN: 0-9677021-1-9 Paper: $14.00		Blending historical, scientific, and literary scholarship with an impressive range of poetic forms, Melinda Mueller masterfully brings us the legendary tale of Sir Ernest Shackleton's Trans-Antarctic Expedition. What the Ice Gets is an adventure story, a requiem, and a love poem written to twenty-eight heroes and the mythic landscape they set out to explore but that instead explored them.
Melinda Mueller has published three previous collections of poetry. Her poems have been included in the Pushcart Prize XX and Best American Poetry 1990 anthologies and many literary journals. Born in Helena, Montana, she now lives in Seattle, where she teaches high school biology at Seattle Academy.

Praise for What the Ice Gets
"...This is the poem as survival thriller, impossible to put down."
—Booklist.

"I greatly admire What the Ice Gets: its drive, its high intelligence, its passages of brilliant, bravado writing... I'm hugely impressed by Mueller's handling of the Shackleton story."
—Jonathan Raban.......
