About this book
On the moors outside Gloucester, fishing boats, wildflowers and seabirds share the scene with a troubling image of the earth as a ship. William Vaughn Moody turns a summer landscape into a reflection on unequal lives, asking why some passengers enjoy comfort while others suffer below deck. This collection of American verse moves between close observation of nature and concerns about human fellowship, faith and public responsibility.
The opening poems include a Good Friday procession that becomes a personal encounter with compassion, a hymn of restless wandering, and an ode prompted by the memorial to Robert Gould Shaw and his regiment. Elsewhere, "The Brute" presents destructive industrial power as a creature that consumes hills, streams and human effort.
