Description
This collection of poems explores the power and beauty of the sea, as well as its ability to evoke feelings of loss and awe. The poems are deeply personal, yet seek to transcend individual emotions in favour of a universal sense of wonder.
The form of each poem is guided by its emotional or visual impulse, resulting in a range of styles that oscillate between darkness and joy. Through the use of imagery and metaphor, Kate Ashton seeks to evoke a sense of the eternal in relation to the present moment.
