Seascapes and the flora and fauna bracket sequences spoken by means of personae as numerous because the seventeenth-century American colonist Roger Williams, small-town police officers, a squatter within the ruins of Chernobyl, a nineteenth-century Russian normal in Mongolia, and a Cape Cod wood worker. Galvin's monologues, tensile and lively loose verse, are touched with the speech of the old sessions within which they take place.the floor was once too highly roiled for a muskrat's dive or a shag's, it used to be nearly the "footprint" a whale leaves whilst it sounds for the depths, yet that wasn'twhat got here up blowing water like a child after a dive, its brown-golden head too tremendous for a weasel's, and rose up to its shoulders seeing me there, its tail operating behind--a river otter, a five-footer, no goofy crammed toy, yet nearly smiling, the best way a salamander grew to become up lower than a log turns out to grin as though to assert, you might have chanced on me out.>From "Splash" released in Ocean results by way of Brendan Galvin.
