I have been a lover of good poetry most of my life. As a former U.S. Navy Veteran I have also loved poems about the sea. When I saw this book being sold at a bargain price I just had to have it. Poems of the Sea: selected and edited by J.D. McClatchy is a wonderful 251 page hardcover volume. It has a collection of unique and beautiful poetry from a wide range of poets around the world.
This book is organized into 11 areas and they are as follows: Sea-Fever, the call of the deep, storm and calm, ballads, songs and chanteys, anthem, prayer, hymn, seafarers, wrecks at sea, legends, above and beyond, and reading the waves. The list of poets include many of the most esteemed and respected writers of all time, as well as some lesser known poets. A few of the many poets in this collection include Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, T.S. Eliot, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, John Keats, Victor Hugo, Herman Melville, John Milton, William Shakespeare and Walt Whitman.
If you are a poetry lover this is a collection you should check out. A fantastic read for all poetry lovers.
