Description: A discerning and entertaining anthology for all those fascinated by the sea, marking the 200th anniversary of the legendary Battle of Trafalgar and Admiral Lord Nelson's death. The sea occupies four-fifths of the earth's surface and, from time immemorial, poets have turned and returned to the sea as a powerful theme or symbol. Blending well-known and unfamiliar, ancient and modern poetry, the anthology celebrates the sea's elemental, practical, and mythological significance to humankind.
