Book Overview

Surf poetry rooted in the soul-surfing tradition

Scott Rosin's Turn Your Back on the Shore is a vivid and thought-provoking poetry collection shaped by the author's half-century among the breakers. With humor, philosophy, and deep environmental awareness, these poems explore the ocean not only as a playground but as a witness, a teacher, and a refuge from modern life.

This varied collection touches on themes of alienation, conservation, environmentalism, and the joyful practice of wave-riding.

Sometimes classical, sometimes satirical, always biographical, his poetry carries the beat and rhythm of the sea.
