"A strikingly original and deeply immersive meditation on Arctic exploration, climate change, and the evolving meanings of place in a rapidly warming world." Lisa E. Bloom, Climate Change and the New Polar Aesthetics "With awe and reverence for the natural environments of the north, Dianne Chisholm explores concerns with land, environment, climate change, creativity, and gender through a High Arctic expedition to Svalbard, Norway." Kit Dobson, Field Notes on Listening "These lyrical meditations on a journey through the High Arctic are thought-provoking and timely as our Atlantean civilization sails full steam ahead towards the rocks of climate chaos." Thomas Wharton, Icefields "In rich crevasses of words, and the lush hush of photographs, Dianne Chisholm travels north, far north, to be alive and attuned to the huge presence of remote Norwegian glaciers. She queries their mysterious names and origins, and addresses them directly at times, as if recognizing, in them, their own sentience. Reading her, we awaken to a habitation with a non-human other that astounds." Erín Moure, Planetary Noise: Selected Poetry "The Walking Glacieris an unusual blend of musical lyricism, a scholarly eye, a photographer's sense of presence and a story of earth unravelling.

Chisholm writes a homiletic white noir, at once an elegy for earth and a celebration of love. This text is an urgent hagiography of naming and a beautiful confession of absence." Kristjana Gunnars, author of The Silence of Falling Snow.
