From Tierra del Fuego in the south to Spitsbergen, east of Greenland, at the very top of the world, she explores how our very consciousness is animated and enlivened by the archaic rhythms and erupting oscillations of weather. We share Ehrlich's experience of the thrills of cold, but also her questions: What will happen to us if we are \"deseasoned\"? If winter ends, will we survive?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGretel Ehrlich is the author of \u003cb\u003eThis Cold Heaven \u003c\/b\u003eand \u003cb\u003eThe Solace of Open Spaces\u003c\/b\u003e, among other works of nonfiction, fiction, and poetry.
