Low Tide on Grand Pré: A Book of Lyrics

A tightly bound set of lyrical poems gathers around a single, haunting image: the low tide that lays bare the coast of Grand Pré. The verses move from the quiet hush of a descending sun to the restless sweep of an endless sea, each piece echoing the same melancholic key. The poet’s language is rich with natural detail—birches, windflowers, Guelder roses—yet always turns inward, tracing memory and yearning. Readers will feel the tide’s pull, both soothing and unsettling, as the collection unfolds.

The work explores themes of longing, displacement, and the fleeting moments of beauty that surface in quiet evenings. Seasonal cycles frame the poems, linking spring’s tentative bloom to winter’s stark vigil, while personal reflections on love and loss weave through the landscape. The tone is intimate, inviting listeners to linger on each line as if hearing a soft voice over a tide‑washed shore.

Listening to these poems aloud brings the rhythm of the sea to life, offering a meditative escape that resonates long after the final stanza fades.
