In Hudson's Wake

In Hudson's Wake is a poetry collection. The enigmatic British sea captain and explorer, Henry Hudson, made four voyages to the Arctic in the early 17th century. An excellent navigator and dedicated sailor, he was never careful at selecting his crews, often employing obvious misfits for arduous tasks. On his fourth expedition voyage his crew mutinied and cast him adrift on what is now Hudson Bay. Author Anthony Dalton tells of Hudson's extreme voyages in this biographic collection using various poetic forms.
