About This Book

A three-part collection of lyrical sketches and short narratives that evokes life by the sea and in the adjoining woods through sensory description and small-scale scenes. The opening pages present impressionistic vignettes of coastal evenings and communal rituals; the middle group moves into more fanciful and reflective pieces; the final section gathers brief tales. Recurring elements include attention to landscape and seasonal atmosphere, quiet devotional feeling, gentle humor, and the author’s self-conscious reflections on language and revision.
