Two in a Boat by Gwyneth Lewis
In her 40s and recovering from a long battle against depression and alcoholism, Welsh poet Gwyneth Lewis decided to trade in her landlubber life -- a nice house in Cardiff and a sensible job at the BBC -- for life aboard a small yacht with her husband Leighton, a former bosun with the Merchant Navy and now in his mid-60s.
'Felicitous, urbane, heartbreaking, the poems of Gwyneth Lewis form a universe whose planets use language for oxygen and are thus inhabitable' Joseph Brodsky 'True stars in poetry like Gwyneth Lewis always match brilliance with warmthShe is one to bet on.' Les Murray
Gwyneth Lewis is an award-winning poet whose work has drawn widespread acclaim. She has been shortlisted for the Forward Prize and was named one of the Next Generation British poets in 2004.
