"A lyrical, monumental work of fact and imagination." â Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Arrogance and innocence, hubris and hope â twenty-four haunting voices of the Titanic tragedy, as well as the iceberg itself, are evoked in a stunning tour de force. Slipping in telegraphs, undertakerâs reports, and other records, poet Allan Wolf offers a breathtaking, intimate glimpse at the lives behind the tragedy, told with clear-eyed compassion and astounding emotional power.
