About This Book
A series of lyrical poems sketches a coastal winter sojourn that shifts between bleak New England shores and warmer island passages. Compact scenes blend seaside observation, fireside companionship, and shipboard farewells, using maritime imagery and color-rich description to contrast cold and warmth. The poems meditate on art, memory, and friendship through impressionistic vignettes and elegiac moments, arranging brief narrative touches and reflective pieces into a quietly unified sequence of mood and place.
