Product Description
by John P. Joy (Author)
Inspired by his summers on Cape Cod & the Islands, John P. Joy presents this diverse collection of lyric poetry.
Each poem was written with the shoreline as backdrop, and the beach as a broad canvas on which are overlaid reflections on life, love, loss and nature. Accessible to a wide audience, each selection embodies a style that honors the more traditional and ageless poetic ideals of beauty, sound and form, while remaining timely and affirming.
Much beauty and serenity is to be found in nature and this collection calls to the reader to experience it anew each year. Between the Tides is a wide-ranging debut volume of verse that evokes the ineffable splendor of the natural world of the coastline.
Author Biography
