Terra Antarctica in the Loker Student Union on Nov. 13. A poet, author, explorer, cultural geographer and scholar, Fox integrates literary and scientific interests into his works. Much of his poetry and nonfiction writing stem from his travels to far-off places, the result being an examination of humankind’s relationship with nature, particularly vast desert spaces, and the need to understand and define it.
