New from M. Kei: Heron Sea, Short Poems of the Chesapeake Bay.

“Poetry lovers, sailors, everyone in Bay country, and anyone who wants a powerful and beautiful read, should buy this book!”—Denis M. Garrison, editor, Modern English Tanka

“M. Kei’s collection is a gem. An authority on Chesapeake Bay, an authority on certain types of boats, an authority on the history of oyster fishing, he is a modern who knows the importance of global-warming and saving the environment. He is never sentimental, and his poems have a special quality of honesty and integrity. The last section on ‘Threnody’ is totally moving. In other words, Kei has written a unique collection whose voice is like that of no one else. I admire it enormously. Kei is coming into his own, and should become one of the best haiku/tanka poets of the decade.” —Sanford Goldstein, co-translator of Midaregami, Tangled Hair

Kei, editor of the critically acclaimed 'Fire Pearls,' issues his first collection of poetry, focussing on the Chesapeake Bay area. Composed while crewing aboard one of the last skipjacks on the bay, and living and working on the Bay's shores, each poem is a loving portrait of life and loss at the Head of the Bay.
