A beautifully illustrated book that will be of especial relevance and appeal to anyone with an interest in ships and sailing vessels, carving and maritime and social history.
As in previous collections, Andrew Peters' fifth volume derives meaning from memories and reflections of nature and literature. Here is poetry that paints scenes and images that appreciate every moment of living.
This collection of poetry covers a segment of the spectrum of living. Simple joys, celebrations of the spirit, lasting amazement, deep sorrows, sweet despair, and elegiac remembrance all are explored in experiential appreciation. The book is divided into sections titled Infrared, which explores the very act of questioning, Visible, which appreciates living in the now, and Ultraviolet, which realizes elegiac sorrows and the wonders of living.
Light is a phenomenon analyzed by science, celebrated in literature, and symbolized by religions. Light and nature in all these aspects form the source of meaning in these poems. The sublime reality that encompasses the spectacularly grandiose as well as the common can be realized through the beauty of life's interconnected web. But questions that struggle with the relationship between human responsibility and survival have never been more prominent than now. Human understanding has never been so close to nature and never more destructive and exploitive of it. Human cultures have focused on human meaning in building civilizations, but survival seems now to require a more fundamental existential awareness of the totality of life.
These poems written mostly in free verse celebrate the natural world and encourage awareness. Light is a major thread running through the book both as a natural phenomena and as a resonant archetype. But light isn't light without darkness, and so there is darkness here, too, questions of direction and purpose that don't assume answers.
