If you are looking for sensuous intelligence peppered with
indignant hints of Southern charm, this book of poetry will take
you on a delicious ride. Ms. Berry explores perspectives, familial
concerns, and sex through words and rhythms both visually and
verbally. You will find several poetic structures inside. There are
poems to titillate you, frustrate you, anger you, and make you
laugh. There are rhymes, free verse, and the confoundedly chaotic.
The poems span many years and life stories of relationships,
writing, loving, and human rights to consider. Grab some tea,
Bourbon (or both) and look through someone's jagged perspective for
a while.
On May 18, 1605, George Waymouth, captain of the English ship
Archangel, anchored in the lee of Monhegan Island, finding shelter
from a three-day storm. Putting ashore, the crew found fresh water
to drink, wood to burn, and lobsters aplenty in the shoreline
rocks. Today, lobstering and lobstermen are American icons of
rugged individualism, and their way of life has enlivened and
colored the countless bays and coves of New England. The Lobstering
Life puts readers in the boats, on the docks, in the bars, and in
the lives of the men and women who pull "bugs" from the sea to
sustain a cussedly independent, much admired way of life. Not since
Peter Matthiessen's bestselling Men's Lives has this trade been so
vibrantly brought to life.
