About This Book

A varied poetry collection moves between solemn wartime meditations and exuberant civic spectacle, intimate elegies, and ballads of the sea. Several poems dwell on battlefields, public memorial feeling, and transatlantic ties, while a suite of trawler and fisherfolk pieces celebrates coastal labor and song. Other poems explore pastoral and mythic reverie, personal memory, and small comic sketches, and an epilogue reflects on the rewards of poetic art. Musical diction, vivid imagery, and a blending of formal lyric and conversational modes give the volume a unifying tonal energy.
