Salt Lake City, UT – Utah's Poet Laureate has traveled to Indonesia, the Amazon and other far-flung places to find inspiration for her work. Now Katharine Coles is in Antarctica, observing the geography, wildlife and scientific research of the remote area for a new book of poetry. She tells KUER's Jennifer Napier-Pearce precisely where she's based.

You can follow Coles' travels through the Utah Arts Council and Facebook.
