Emptied Of All Ships

Poetry. "EMPTIED OF ALL SHIPS is a setting out onto crucial waters. Each word here has its own weight and position — its own vital movement between poles of loss and discovery. With our sight-lines thus widened, the observance itself becomes activated — another mode of transport. A poetry of brevity is a tough task (especially the word-as-line), but in these pages it registers as achievement" — George Albon. "Each poem is what I am looking for: a resonance with a particular location, an intelligence unafraid of its humanity, a sort of desperate adequacy with the people or objects that Szymaszek encounters" — Etel Adnan.
