In the Antarctic Circle by Dennis James Sweeney

tense
fast-paced
5.0
Exploring the arctic in the form of poetry that almost reads like entries in a logbook. Exploring also the meaning of the endless; eternity, endless horizon, endless whiteness. Exploring identity and love in this space of nothingness. Stagnation, technology, the political aspect of the polar landscapes. Climate change, extinction, death, memento mori of whiteness.

This book completely changed and greatly improved my tarot practice. The information is invaluable. I did lower my rating because the frequent typos and editing mistakes--probably not the fault of the author herself. Highly recommend. I will keep this as a reference for as long as I read tarot.

Douglass's dark times and eventual freedom make for an incredible story, both powerful for its personal significance as well as its cultural implications.
