Description: Sea Gate is an extended meditation on the provisional, fleeting nature of the self. Elegiac and intensely musical, Jocelyn Emerson's poems draw on geology, cosmology, theology, and physics to render visible the complex relationship between spirit and the material world. These poems question our various definitions of permanence and, ultimately, they find solace in the life of the senses and in the ever-renewing possibilities of language itself.
