Sing with the poet, sailing in pellucid waters veined with delight. Stay. Breathe together in dark violent seas that threaten to smother our painstakingly composed arias. Ours too the darkness, and “just beyond the darkness is the light.” These poems gift readers with “real presence,” the glory in the pain of human experience.

—Margaret R. Miles, Professor Emerita of Historical Theology at the Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley.

“Sailing To the Edges”,  by Jennifer M Phillips, invites readers into journeys of adventure and wonder, both historic and modern. An extended poem accompanies Norwegian polar explorer Roald Amundsen as he sailed with a Belgian expedition to Antarctica in 1897, a harrowing journey much of which was spent trapped in ice in the complete bitterly cold darkness of polar winter. Shorter poems arise as meditations on  the poet’s own travel from the stark beauty of the seas and landscapes of Iceland, Svalbard and the coast of Norway, a poignant and disturbing encounter with our rapidly changing climate.

Jennifer M Phillips is a  bi-national immigrant, with two poetry chapbooks, Sitting Safe In the Theatre of Electricity and A Song of Ascents, and forthcoming collection Wrestling With the Angel (collection, Wipf and Stock, 2025) Phillips’ work has appeared in over 100 journals, and has been twice-nominated for a 2024 Pushcart Poetry Prize.
