A deep meditation on the power and resonance of the sea.
In a stunning collection of prose poems, Agosin reflect on the sea as a force of transformation, a creative force of energy, spirituality, and redemption. She writes about the patterns of the ocean, its moods day and night, and the sea as a constant companion.
