Count the Waves: Poems

by Sandra Beasley

Book Overview

In Count the Waves, Sandra Beasley turns her eclectic imagination to the heart's pursuits. A man and a woman sit at the same dinner table, an ocean of worry separating them. An iceberg sets out to dance. A sword swallower ponders his dating prospects. The vessel is simple, a rowboat among yachts, the poet observes in Ukulele. No one hides a Tommy gun in its case. / No bluesman runs over his uke in a whiskey rage.

Beasley's voice is pithy...
