From the Author
When I started working on this book of verses about the sea using David Harris's sea photographs as my inspiration, it went along fine until I got to X. Neither x-rays nor xylophones are objects typically encountered at sea! And so for X the reader will find a photograph of a container ship, an X marking one of the containers, and the verse "X is for X. / We can't do any better. / We can't find a word. / But we can find the letter."
