Description
No Far Shore is a rich exploration of various coastlines across England, Wales, Ireland, Canada and the US, in the form of travel writing, narrative non-fiction, memoir and poetry. Poet Anne-Marie Fyfe visits the meeting place of land and sea, taking in the maps, waves, lighthouses, islands, north, journeys, boats and fishermen that mark this changing boundary.
She draws on the work of a number of writers for whom the coast has been influential, including Elizabeth Bishop, Herman Melville, Eavan Boland, Moira O'Neill, Robinson Jeffers, George Mackay Brown, C.P. Cavafy and Louis MacNeice. Fyfe also travels into her past, charting her own relationship with a number of coasts and the way that they have shaped her life and those of others.
From the quiet ease of fishing to the impact of shipwrecks, from nature poetry to morse code and cartography, the coast offers almost as many subjects as the waves falling on to the land. This book is a thoughtful exploration of the power of the sea to shape our lives and our writing.
