About This Book

A lyrical collection of poems that evokes the sea in varied moods, from calm dawns and drifting mist to storm and elegy. Vivid sensory images emphasize tides, wind, moonrise, shells and the small rites of sailors and shoreward solitude. Verses move between descriptive snapshots and reflective meditation on memory, eternity and the natural world's rhythms, using musical diction and careful cadence. Short lyrics and occasional longer pieces together trace both the tangible character of the coast and its larger, often melancholic, symbolic resonances without following a single narrative.
