Inspired by the impressionist strokes of Monet and the colorful modernist flair of Matisse, Christopher Jay pairs art images with poetry to reflect the human condition. Products of his own art software program, Whorl, Jay's striking works of art compliment the raw, vivid emotion of his poetic verse, illuminating his words and embodying his feelings. The History of the Sea is a moving collection of poetry that conveys purpose and spirituality.
