Poems and Sea Stories

Author James B. Rudd relives his unforgettable days as a U.S. naval officer, and peppers some insight into this release. The book is a highly moving collection of literary works. Penning down over eighty pieces of poignant poetry and short stories in this unique anthology, he taps the corners of his mind to relive his international adventures. He compels readers to ponder life, nature, war, and humanity. Deeply melancholic, “The Dead Tree" is about the beauty that can be seen in the absence of it. “Gravity”, “Conventions of War”, and “Coming Home” speak to the author’s personal experience with war. This book views life from the perspective of a citizen of the world.
