Wow. Just wow. This is going to be some of my favorite poetry now, especially compared to some of Shakespeare's psycho confusing stuff, no offense to the poor guy. Pathetically, I can relate to this stuff almost as much as my own poetry(which isn't very good I might add). At least I can relate to the ones about the ocean and the mountains. Beautiful, beatiful, and ... depressing. Go figure. Do you even know how good you are at making people feel like they're right smack there staring at the sea? (Well, you probably do.) It's almost scary. Not lying. I LOVE nature, even though I don't think I'm as addicted to it as you, but the sea poem like perfectly describes that weird feeling I got staring out at the ocean sunset on my Alaska cruise ship (besides 'ow, my eyes hurt'. the OTHER feeling, like you belong here, even though you know you'd drown if you were stupid enough to listen to it). (now you better know who this is, even though I bet you already figured it out, being way too smart as you are.) Anyway, I just remembered this is a review, so I'll kind of stop now. All I have to say is: This poetry is incredible and you might want to fix that typo on line one of The Pounding Sea. It ruins the effect to be called home by a small vegetable. And I hope my parentheses didn't make this too confusing.

Beautiful! This is really amazing. I could feel myself running through some mountain somewhere in the Swiss Alps :) when I read these lines:
"Will I lose the heather meadows,
The alpine dawn,
The azure shadows,
The silver moon?
Will they come but dreams again,
The star-lit sky,
The gentle rain,
The morning sun?"
Beautiful!
