The Battle Of The Bays

By Owen Seaman

Book Overview

A sharp, sparkling spark of wit and feeling, The Battle Of The Bays invites readers to stroll through Edwardian England with a voice that is at once droll and tender. A 1-2 line hook: this is a lyric journey through love, friendship, and the uneasy peace that sits alongside a changing world. This carefully curated collection gathers satirical poetry and lyric poetry in a complete poetry collection that tracks national identity, war and peace, and the delicate balance between public virtue and private longing. Owen Seaman's verses-from playful flirtations to sharper, more piercing critiques-are rendered with modern clarity, yet they keep the era's elegance and nuance. The result is accessible for casual readers and deeply rewarding for those who cherish the British lyric poetry tradition, with echoes of edwardian england and the broader british poetry era threaded through every page. The illustrated edition (where appropriate) and meticulous restoration honour both the period and the reader. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This is more than familiar verse; it's a doorway into a pivotal moment in literary history, a complete poetry collection that speaks to love and friendship, to the absurdities of life, and to the enduring questions of a nation at peace.
