About this audiobook
The salt-spray and solitude of a life at sea echo through these rhythmic meditations on memory and mortality. An aging sailor looks back at the comrades he lost and the vast, indifferent oceans that shaped his soul. These verses bridge the gap between the vigor of youth and the quiet contemplation of a life’s sunset.
