Description
First, I was struck by the graphics—gorgeous and tragic, loss, longing—but then the words in this wildly artistic tone poem began to emerge until, finally, it was the opposition of the two that haunts me. Dream and reality collide, catching me off guard. The world around us, even something as commonplace as a long, steep stairway, can seem more improbable and strange than the illogical deep. This short book is dense and profound, and its complexity becomes more evident each time I read it.
—Janet Capron, author of Blue Money
Advance Praise
Pat Feinman’s Voices of the Sea drew me into its half-lit world where thoughts and memories drift into dreams, a place where there is both a danger and a comfort in seeking refuge. With the deceptive simplicity of a tone poem, the art and words merge into a rhythmic tide of images of loss and longing, and that most encompassing of human traits, our search for meaning. Like the sea itself, the story is seductive, melancholy and ultimately, mesmerizing.
—Hudson Talbott, author of A Walk in the Words
As in a dream, Patricia Feinman takes us on an ethereal journey that escapes reasoning and lands in the heart of our imagination. The images are at first uncomfortably haunting but then the words carry us gently and safely through this dreamscape to marvel at the beauty gliding through the poetry. We then awake and look forward to returning to the experience again and again.
—Nancy O’Hara, author of Find a Quiet Corner and Just Listen
