Piloting and Navigations

by Peter A. Hutchinson

A ship is not a poem, but we are all sailors as we navigate our way through the voyages of life, at sea or ashore, in times exciting or fearful, on waters calm or rough, throughout the seasons of our years. This book offers a geography of time and place that is both real and imagined, past and present. Call it verse or whatever, here are words to be thought about, read aloud, enjoyed for what they have to say - in the honest, straight-forward and sometimes devious language of Down East that even people from away can relate to. We are, after all, shipmates and fellow-travelers wherever, and all our journeys have meaning.
