Wonderful Nautical Poem Cycle,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: THE SEA & THE TOWER (Hardcover)
More superb poetry from GM Brown. This is actually a hardcover. It contains beautiful woodcuts for each of the poems. The poem cycle concerns a sea voyage. In the tradition of The Voyage of Brendan, Jason and the Argonauts or The Vinland Sagas, these poems resound with a timelessness and a placelessness that places them in any culture at any time. Brown's poetic skill has infused these poems with magic. Are we hearing this story around a fire in Brown's medieval Orkney or are we seeing a retelling of The Perfect Storm? In Brown's mind the two stories are part of the same fabric. And he fashions this fabric into complex and beautiful patterns in these poems. Brown captures the eternity that the Sea represents and shows its links with humanity. The perfect gift for that poetic fisherman in your life. Highly recommended.
