From the South Pacific to the Arctic

by Brad Leithauser
Review:
I plowed through this collection of art and science only to come up short. This is Leithauser's first collection since the widely acclaimed Darlington's Fall: A novel in verse and the journey in my opinion wasn't fulfilling. There weren't any poems that spoke to me and I felt at times like I was reading a science fiction novel. Sorry to say, but I did not find joy in the readings and will not be passing this book on to anyone anytime soon.
