Surrounded: Living With Islands - Paperback

by Sheryl Clough Mfa (Editor), Constance Mears (Illustrator), Sheryl Clough (Author)

Poets from many places contribute their gorgeous poems to this anthology about living on or with islands, and the ways in which islands have shaped their world views. From the lyrical to the tragic, from the humorous to the downright fantastic, from Easter Island to the Moon, these poems will nudge the reader toward re-thinking previously held notions of what it means to live with islands. Includes "Making Islands" by Henry Hughes, the winner of the 2012 Write Wing Poetry Prize.
