Overview
Sailing past the edge of the mapped world, the swashbuckling poems in this collection encounter remnants of nautical history and myth. "Across the dying moon, across this dead glass sea," we come upon pirates and ghost ships, sea nymphs and wraiths. Shoulder to shoulder, the natural and the supernatural come to life among the surging waves of these adventurous and dynamic poems. Many meet their ends out here, but the open ocean is always a place of beginnings-a stormy swirling place of biblical creation, where life is made and remade in blood and saltwater. In this revitalized second edition of Joseph L. Bensinger's Man, Ships, and the Sea, the majesty and mystery of these unknown depths are brought singing up to the shimmering surface.
