Ebb and Flow: Crovie then and now

By Anne Wiseman

Ebb and Flow - Crovie Then and Now is a two-part poetry collection that carries the voice of a small Scottish fishing village across generations.

The first half steps back into the days prior to the herring boom, echoing the rhythms of nets and tides, hard work and harder weather. Through imagined voices of fishermen, wives, and children, the past breathes again in salt, stone, and sea-light.

The second half turns to the present, exploring modern Crovie through the lens of love, loss, community, and resilience. These poems are intimate and honest, shaped by place and memory, and by the enduring pull of a village that refuses to fade.

Written with deep affection for people and heritage, Ebb and Flow is both a tribute to what has been and a testament to what remains. It is a book about belonging, about carrying on, and about the quiet, stubborn beauty of life lived at the edge of the sea.
