This book of poetry by Keith Wilson was inspired by his experiences in the Navy during the Korean War. Accordingly, almost every poem has as its theme war, death, the sea or love lost or gone awry. It makes for a coherent whole, but it can get depressing. It takes awhile to actually get into the poems, and the rhythm is hard to pick up at first. If you are able to stomach it through the first 30 pages or so, however, you can finish the book with a better idea of how to read and interpret Wilson's work.
