Informationen zum Autor Jenny Lewis teaches poetry for Oxford University's creative writing master of studies. Klappentext This collection of poetry touches on themes of family, childhood, memory, and loss. The title poem of the collection adopts the ocean as a metaphor for the realm of the collective unconscious where creativity lives, memories are stored, poetry is created, and where the dead struggle to visit. Poems such as "Survivors," "Mother," and "Boarder" cover the experience of being orphaned, while others address artistic obsession and objectification, asceticism and religious ecstasy, and the importance of grandmothers. Zusammenfassung Contains poems that look at the layers of the pasts which create a life! of the sources of self and creativity! of the structures beneath the surface. While the poems portray the sense of incompleteness! the shadow that loss casts! a later sequence suggests how the missing pieces may be recovered from the depths.
