Produktinformationen zu „The Alaska Literary: Sailing by Ravens (ePub)“
Gillnetter, mariner, and naturalist Holly Hughes has experienced first-hand the practical and philosophical consequences of navigating difficult waters. In Sailing by Ravens, she gathers wisdom gained from thirty seasons working off Alaska's shores, weaving personal experience and her love of the sea with the history and science of navigation. In this exquisite collection of poems, Hughes deftly navigates "the wavering, certain path" of a woman's heart, finding that sometimes the best directions to follow are those that come from the natural forces in our lives. These meditations offer waypoints for readers on their own journeys."These poems of the sea begin with a school girl's fascination for 'the blue sea holding captive all the land' and end as the seasoned sailor learns that 'even the old charts/ can't navigate the wild shoals of your heart.' Along the way we are shipmates through days of fishing, sailing, loving, and losing as Hughes navigates the lure, lore, and loneliness of a sea that is both natural force and metaphor. I love Sailing by Ravens with its salt of the sea, salt of our deepest lives."—Gary Thompson, author of One Thing After Another
