Ocean Skies contains thirty-eight poems on nostalgia, belief, love, and the enigma of the human mind. The first collection, The Tidepool, uses both rhyme and free verse to explore facets of everyday life and, in “Ocean Skies,” the power of faith. This carries on through Lighthouse Rooms, a study in self-discovery which ends in a bittersweet retelling of Orpheus and Eurydice, “Alta and the Underworld.” The third collection, Passacaglia, attempts to reconcile the past with the present, where “It was all the same, but the colors / Had changed to my strange / New myopic sight.”
