This poetry collection features the epic poem The Sailor Who Lost His Faith In The Sea, which is one-third of the book’s contents. The poem is over a year in the crafting and is told in narrative style in the voice of a mixed-blood Caribbean working-class sailor who personifies the character, memories, and rich heritage of that region. In that setting, he deals with fundamental questions of life and death and the ordinary issues of everyday life in a genuine, unvarnished way. The sailor says, “When I write, each word is soaked in salt water, wrung out, dried in sea air, and hung on the mast to be read.” Also included are thirty-two other poems in this volume with distinctive perspectives about the nature of man and the natural landscape. These are passionate explorations of what it is to be human in this life, its delights and loathings, and powerful reminders of the bond between every individual, all living things, and the natural world.
