Hangdog Reef: Poems Sailing the Great Lakes (Great Lakes Books)

By Stephen Tudor

Sailors, poets, and armchair travelers will recognize a number of Great Lakes waterscapes and landscapes in the poems of Stephen Tudor. Hangdog Reef captures the many moods of the Lakes as seen through the eyes of a sailor. From Beaver Island and the Sleeping Bear Dunes to the port towns and industrial cities, Tudor explores the metaphorical rhythm of the Great Lakes. His images convey a sense of the area's ever-changing weather against a backdrop of shifting panoramas. Themes of love and the celebration of nature surface in verses on the art of navigation, townspeople, and the seasons. Even the gritty dockside bar is acknowledged in this original collection.
