description: Rivers, rains, oceans, floods—an abiding fascination with the sea—inspire much of the imagery and musicality in this first book by A.E. Stringer. In Channel markers, Stringer explores the delicate balance between the island of himself and his fluid surrounding environment, embarking on a voyage to find himself and the others—a blind man, a sailor, and a bum—around him. He discovers that solid ground is a place of only tentative security, both threatened and enchanted by the power of the sea.
