Not wrecked, but lowered here
to be a habitat for coraliths,
precursors of coral reefs,
deepest reds and strongest azure,
fireworms, sponges and algae,
an artist reaching for my colours
weightless, and in my element.
An ancient Greek or Roman statue,
I preside over an underwater senate,
a city you never knew, a world
you never imagined!
Dear readers, this is my third book of poems, and inside are a special collection of what have turned out to be not only MY personal favorites, but also the favorites of many of YOU. Some of these have never been available in print before...
The songs and art in this book are about our collective emergence after the pandemic and trauma of the last few years - comprised of 5 collections: World as Refuge, Where We Live, In Our Hands, Rhythms of Change and What We See & Sow.
