SEA TO SKY REVIEW

stormy waters

VOLUME 2. ISSUE 3. DECEMBER 2019

Unearthly creatures twisting, turning in upon themselves,
unholy memories sharp and seething, thrown up from the sea. 

With these words, Greta Bolger starts this stormy and delightful collection of poetry for us. Enjoy Greta’s ‘Ghazal based on a quote from Kafka’, Antonia Clark’s poem, ‘Riptide’, the long flowing muscle of water which might just be holding a gun. Justine Salter takes you below the surface of the ocean where women await, all long hair and cruelty. Bruce Dodson will have you polishing the brass. Suellen Wedmore invites you into her lighthouse tower during a hurricane. And Brandon Kilbourne gifts us all with ‘The Oceanographer’ where we read about frost-seals swooping amongst berg-sunk shipwrecks - oh my. Brian Edwards’ storm turns us away from the sea where it collapses the stairs, slams them closed like accordions on a winter Paris pavement. And once the poetry is done, Deborah L. Wade shares a story about a sailboat, a family and a force-10 storm at sea.

What fun! And all this illustrated with the stormy, brooding and wild artwork of Michaela Ivancova from Whistler, BC. Enjoy -
