Ocean Skies and Other Poems

By Columba Gray

Ocean Skies contains thirty-eight poems on nostalgia, belief, love, and the enigma of the human mind. The first collection, The Tidepool , uses both rhyme and free verse to explore facets of everyday life and, in "Ocean Skies," the power of faith. This carries on through Lighthouse Rooms , a study in self-discovery which ends in a bittersweet retelling of Orpheus and Eurydice, "Alta and the Underworld." The third collection, Passacaglia , attempts to reconcile the past with the present, where "It was all the same, but the colors / Had changed to my strange / New myopic sight."
