Trade Review

‘The greatest sea poem in the language’ Jonathan Raban

‘The Poem contains many delicate touches of passion…a great number of the stanzas present beautiful images, and are expressed with unusual felicity of language’ William Wordsworth

‘Astonishingly, the poem's spell doesn't seem to weaken over the years…The scenery remains thrillingly hellish, while laced with photographically realistic meteorological effects, and the narrative drive is irresistible’ Guardian
