Sue Goyette
Sue Goyette explores our relationship with the ocean in this offbeat and engaging collection. She touches on folklore, science and the future of the planet as it pertains to our waters. A playful, intelligent collection.
Ocean was a finalist for the 2014 Griffin Poetry Prize.
From the book
We basted decadence, flambéed it and then dipped it
into excuses. We poured the lava from our secrets
into foil cups and presented them as declarations
to each other. We plugged into electrical storms
and marched our arguments down Main Street.
We sat at the edge of bottomless and fished out
the last living things...
