The poems in this collection are his cross-sectional response to life's joy and comedy, grief and hope. They sing songs of the sea, the church, the nation, family, and friendship. They are not "religious" in the usual sense, but do add up to some sort of splendid statement about the valiancy of the human spirit in the face of life's ancient, and seemingly unresolvable contradictions.
