{"product_id":"books-poems-of-the-sea-by-j-d-mcclatchy","title":"Poems of the Sea","description":"Throughout history, poets have felt the ancient pull of the sea, exploring the full range of mankind's nautical fears, dreams, and longings. The colorful legends of the sea-pirates and mermaids, phantom ships and the sunken city of Atlantis-have inspired as many imaginations as have the realities of lighthouses and shipwrecks, of icebergs and frothing foam and seaweed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis marvelous collection includes classics old and new, from Homer and Milton to Plath and Merwin. Here are Tennyson's seductive sea-fairies next to Poe's beloved Annabel Lee. Here is Coleridge's darkly brooding The Rime of the Ancient Mariner alongside the grandeur of Shakespeare's Full Fathom Five. And here is Masefield's I must go down to the seas again alongside Cavafy's Ithaka and Stevens's The Idea of Order at Key West. In the wide variety of lyrics collected here-sonnets and sea chanteys, ballads and hymns and prayers-we feel the encompassing power of our planet's restless waters as metaphor, mystery, and muse.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53505445003537,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780375413292.jpg?v=1778096977","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-poems-of-the-sea-by-j-d-mcclatchy","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
