Description

A vibrant collection of verses and translations, this work opens with an invitation to linger in summer meadows before setting out on wind‑tossed waterways and rugged coastlines. The poet’s language swirls like sea‑spray, turning simple pleasures—reading, canoeing, a quiet hike—into a dance with the elements. Mythic echoes of fairies and distant islands weave through the lines, offering both a sense of place and a timeless yearning for freedom.

Listening to these poems feels like stepping aboard a wooden craft, the wind urging you forward while the tide sings beneath the hull. The verses shift from gentle, sun‑lit reflections to the thunderous roar of breakers, capturing the pulse of the ocean and the restless heart within. Whether you pause to taste the scent of brine or chase the promise of spring’s fresh breath, the collection leaves a lingering echo of wonder, inviting you to return to the shore of imagination again and again.
