Well, I probably shouldn't write a review of Christopher James' new pamphlet, The Ice Sonnets (Dithering Chaps, 2025), given that my endorsement appears on its back cover, but I can recommend it thoroughly and suggest you get hold of a copy for yourself by visiting the Dithering Chaps webshop. To give you a flavour of this top-notch collection, here's that aforementioned endorsement...
‘In The
Ice Sonnets, Christopher James tells the story of Shackleton’s expedition
via a collage effect of juxtaposing exquisitely drawn pen portraits of its
participants, interweaving the characters, drawing out the group dynamics that
develop in extreme conditions. These poems tell a highly specific tale with
universal ramifications.
