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.
