Poems of the Sea

Poems of the Sea

Poems of the Sea is a stunning anthology of global poetry celebrating the majesty, mystery, and power of the world’s waters. From the ancient epics of Homer to the modern reflections of Sylvia Plath and W. S. Merwin, this collection captures the human fascination with the sea in all its forms—mythical and real, tranquil and tempestuous. Dive into legendary verses such as Coleridge’s “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”, Shakespeare’s “Full Fathom Five”, Tennyson’s sea-fairies, Poe’s “Annabel Lee”, and Masefield’s “I must go down to the seas again”, alongside Cavafy, Stevens, and many more. With sonnets, ballads, hymns, and lyrical meditations, this anthology explores the oceans as metaphor, mystery, and muse, offering timeless inspiration for lovers of poetry and the sea alike. Presented in Everyman’s Library’s exquisite hardcover edition, Poems of the Sea is a collectible gift book perfect for literary enthusiasts and admirers of the ocean.
