Signed by Robert Peters at colophon, as issued. "Robert Peters' Ikagnak: The North Wind is a brilliantly realized series of monologues spoken, brooded over, by Elisha Kent Kane, the famous and, in his time, enormously popular American explorer-hero. Kane made two expeditions into the Arctic in search of Sir John Franklin; the second (1853-55) changed, as had Franklin's, into more of a struggle for survival than anything else. Using Kane's journals as the basis for the poems, Peters chronicles the bitter—but in a strange way exalting—effects of such suffering on a man of heroic temperament." - publisher.
