We live our lives on unsteady ground, always standing at the edge of a shore that tilts and shifts beneath us. Love is the tide that moves across that shore-toward friends, toward lovers, toward God-bringing both wreckage and renewal in its wake.
A Swiftly Tilting Shore is a collection of poems that explores love in all its contradictions: fragile yet relentless, broken yet redemptive, human and divine. In three movements, the book traces the arc of longing: from the ache of loss and grief, to the fire of intimacy and desire, to the wider embrace of friendship, fatherhood, and faith.
These poems are not answers but waypoints: fragments of devotion, lament, passion, and prayer, gathered from the shifting sands of life. They testify to love's power to wound and to heal, to devastate and to transform.
This is a book for anyone who has stood at the water's edge, listening for what the tide might bring in.
