Me a seaman’s wife
She the sea, the ocean
Me your land, your solid ground.
Or the other way around – I the sea, the ocean
She your land, your solid ground
She, the seaman’s wife.
Both of us someone’s feast
And you ours…
Black Scat has published only a few books of poetry, so when we do it’s quite an event. This collection of poems & observations by the gifted young British writer Edith Doove deserves a place on your shelf. Indeed, Ms. Doove has a sharp eye and her words whisper fresh visions.
These works were originally written in Dutch and composed over a ten year period.
We invite you to discover MINCE in this lovely, limited edition chapbook.
