South: An Antarctic Journey by Chris Orsman
4.0

A series of biographical poems on Scott's voyage to Antarctica. More intellectually interesting than emotionally affecting, I think (although I could be spoiled by recent reading of Bill Sewell's Erebus), but still a truly enjoyable read that I've gone through multiple times now. I think my favourite poem of the collection is "Farewell to the Sun".
