Description
A field guide to the spirit and endeavours of Edwardian mountaineer Freda Du Faur (1882–1935), the first woman to summit Aoraki Mount Cook, the highest peak in the Southern Alps of Aotearoa New Zealand. Through flights of verse, pages of concrete visual poetry, and fragments of archival materials, this new collection is glistening with newness on every page.
Alison Glenny’s Antarctic-themed collection of prose poems and fragments, The Farewell Tourist, won the Kathleen Gratton award for poetry and was published by Otago University Press in 2018. In 2019 she was an Ursula Bethell writer in residence at the University of Canterbury. She lives on the Kapiti Coast.
