Why did the old Persians hold the sea holy? Why did the Greeks give it a separate deity, and own brother Jove? Surely all this is not without meaning. And still deeper the meaning of that story of Narcissus, who because he could not grasp the tormenting mild image he saw in the fountain, plunged into it and was drowned. But that same image, we ourselves see in all rivers and oceans. It is the image of the ungraspable phantom of life, and this is the key to it all.

~From Moby Dick by Herman Melville

Ourselves in Rivers and Oceans - a poetry anthology.

A collection of poems from over 100 international writers reflecting on the theme of ´water´, with original illustrations by Scottish artist, Colin Thom.

The front cover features a photograph by professional photographer Mike Curry.

The foreword is written by Easkey Britton, PhD. Surfer, scientist, explorer and more. Author of Ebb & Flow, Saltwater in the Blood, and 50 Things to Do by the Sea.

All proceeds are donated to the charity Water.org.

    Each poem in this anthology takes us through another phase of water. From dripping wet to parched, it's a journey worth taking. Highly recommend.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book
    Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2024
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    This is a wonderful book edited by Claire Thom. All sales of the book go to water.org, a charity. The premise is a simple one: 100 poets from around the world have written poems about water. In a world where water is at risk...whether there's enough of it; whether it's clean anymore; whether underwater life is safe in it or can survive in it...it's important to raise consciousness about water so we can all help to save it. This book's poems help do just that---raise consciousness about water. Highly recommended.

    5.0 out of 5 stars outstanding collection

    Who could imagine there would be so many aspects of water to inspire so many poets? And it has inspired the over 100 international poets featured in this outstanding collection. Not only a delight to the eye with the fantastic cover picture by Mike Curry and illustrations by Colin Thom but wonderful poems to dip into and enjoy over months and years. A 'must' for any poetry bookshelf.

    This anthology brings together an international collection of poets whose work is excellent whether in short or long form. Each time I pick up the book I find another interesting poem/point of view that keeps me going back for more. The team at Wee Sparrow Press have done a great job in editing and producing this excellent book.
