The Ocean is chaos, but it is also the regularity of wave and tide. The Ocean is the mirror of the sky, reflecting what is not itself, but also the container of unplumbed depths and myriads uncounted: a world onto itself...
The Ocean is the meeting point of peoples, and their divider. Across its face extends trade and travel; a face that, when angry, destroys the very same. The Ocean is a match for the mind of man, and his probe into what is known and unknown...
Poems For Ocean is cosmic poet Simon Pole's only collection of lyric poetry. In it you will find, in rhythm and rhyme, creations to challenge the totality of Ocean. Its people are barbers, soldiers, tramps, kings, drunks, wizards, witches, and all the types that throng the shores of man's weird existence. Their situation is both everyday and extraordinary, from the streets to space and back again. And their condition-our condition-is best told in poetry that is musical and metrical like the profound soundings of Ocean itself...
Poems For Ocean: poetry for hearing the roar of this world, while catching echoes of what waits in the next...
Poems For Ocean: the journey to our final port's call will find its chronicle within.
This is the 2nd edition, including the chapbook of new poems Dolphin's Lair.
Bio
His mind corrupted by childhood exposure to horror movie matinees, but equally enthralled by the atmosphere of old churches, Simon Pole writes cosmic poetry from the location of Kingsville, Ontario. A graduate of Harvard University, Simon has continued his studies of what is hidden in the dark. Writing is also in his blood, being the great-great-grandson of early Canadian poet Susie Drury.
