Title: Crossing the North Sea
Description: A collection of modernist poetry written in English. The book is divided into three sections called "Portraits", "Seasons", and "Crossings", the first section being the largest. The "portraits" depict people: real (contemporary or historical); imagined/literary;  and, in one case, artificial. But the people include angels. Also some colours are portrayed. In addition, there is a portrait of a botanic species, the glacier crowfoot. The seasons vary; there are the seasons of the year, and those of one's life, including its close relationships. The third section, "Crossings", deals with crossings in geographic and/or spiritual senses.
Subjects: Portraits (written), seasons (in more than one sense), and crossings, geographic and/or in some other sense.
Places: Many places, not least the North Sea. Paris, ancient Rome, modern Glasgow, Skye (Scotland), the Arctic mountains, Fife (Scotland), Inverness (Scotland), London, Edinburgh, and Lapland are some examples.
People: Many individuals are described here, especially in the "Portraits" section. Anna Pavlova and Cleopatra's children are a few examples.
Time periods: Mostly our own period, with a few exceptions such as the Viking era, 18th and 19th century Paris. The poems are set in many different seasons, though.
