The poet/author of the book has done it all right from the very cover page to the last line of the last poem. Growing up with little or no appreciation for poetry I found this incredibly easy to read and understand as well.The first thing that struck me about this book was the poet took the trouble to describe his views on poetry and inform the reader on how to read this book to appreciate its full value, something I am glad I took the trouble to follow.The introduction made me feel as though I was being taken by the poet's hand gently and being introduced to his work. I was eager to read more. The poems marry perfectly with the expectations set up in the introduction and the book description. I found the words beautifully clear, simply worded but they brought to mind the most vivid images and aroused some real emotion. Even after finishing a poem I found myself hearing some of the words over and over again.The poet delivers what he promised and I am taken through this great space and washed along the shores of the poet's world.The theme is consistent, love and lust are described using sea and sky themed metaphors.I recommend this book of poetry very strongly to anyone, it is great even for those who aren't into poetry, and is a wonderful gift to give or share with a lover and a soul mate.
