Throughout history, poets have felt the ancient pull of the sea, exploring the full range of mankind's nautical fears, dreams, and longings. The colorful legends of the sea-pirates and mermaids, phantom ships and the sunken city of Atlantis-have inspired as many imaginations as have the realities of lighthouses and shipwrecks, of icebergs and frothing foam and seaweed. This marvelous collection includes classics old and new, from Homer and Milton to Plath and Merwin. Here are Tennyson's seductive sea-fairies next to Poe's beloved Annabel Lee. Here is Coleridge's darkly brooding "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" alongside the grandeur of Shakespeare's "Full Fathom Five." And here is Masefield's "I must go down to the seas again" alongside Cavafy's "Ithaka" and Stevens's "The Idea of Order at Key West." In the wide variety of lyrics collected here-sonnets and sea chanteys, ballads and hymns and prayers-we feel the encompassing power of our planet's restless

And we don't have to do it alone. We're in the company of poets who haven't stopped caring.'-Hal Sirowitz, former Poet Laureate of Queens, New YorkIn a tremendous effort to come to terms with a natural disaster that took the life and livelihood of millions, and affected the whole world, this is a deeply moving collection of poems by a distinguished group of poets from across the world.

Stripped to essentials, these poems are some of the last Neruda ever wrote, as he pulled "one dream out of another." Includes the final lovesong to his wife, written in the past tense: "It was beautiful to live / When you lived!" Bilingual with introduction.

This imaginative and colorful collection of more than 150 poems contains work by poets from many Pacific lands as well as from Europe, Asia, and the Americas. The poems were gathered especially but not exclusively for young readers. Most were written in English, but a few were translated from their original languages. Unlike conventional anthologies, Fire in the Sea places the rich traditional and contemporary poetry of Hawai‘i and the Pacific (often overlooked by anthologists) alongside better-known works from the East and West. Selected works of art from the collections of the Honolulu Academy of Arts accompany the poems.

A book written to relax with during the "Ups & Downs" of life, knowing in time, we can find a little peace. Taste the salt air and listen to the waves, as you read about calm harbors and view blissful, picturesque shots of seashores with full color art photography for each poem. Travel back in your mind to simpler times gone...to tales of seashores, romance, friendships and travel. These poems are evocative and deep. Life is full of changes, therefore we never stop learning. The ocean can be a very nurturing teacher. I believe there are not always answers, sometimes just a feeling. Sometimes we just have to trust. The selected poems and photos that have made the "cut" exhibit the true sense of where they come from. Father time and Mother Nature are are captured and enveloped between these two covers.
