About The Author
Nancy Campbell
Nancy Campbell received the Royal Geographical Society Ness Award in 2020 for a decade-long creative response to the polar environment, which began during a winter as Artist in Residence at the most northern museum in the world on Upernavik in Greenland.
Her books include Fifty Words for Snow, a Waterstones Book of the Month, The Library of Ice: Readings in a Cold Climate, and the poetry collection Disko Bay.
She was appointed Canal Laureate in 2018, writing poems for installation across the UK waterways from London Docklands to the River Severn. Her memoir Thunderstone: Finding Shelter from the Storm describes making a home in an old Buccaneer caravan between the River Thames and the Oxford Canal, where she still lives.
