Product Information

Reading is tidal, and each tide brings with it new associations. It is difficult now to read John Masefield’s Sea-Fever without thinking of bleaching coral, or Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner without picturing Chris Jordan’s photographs of dead albatross, their stomachs full of brightly coloured plastic. “‘ Hope’ is the thing with feathers,” but avian flu is decimating seabird populations. Although he’s often thought of as a somewhat gloomy poet, Larkin (1922-85) had his tenderer, more celebratory moments too, such as in this, the opening poem from his 1974 collection High Windows, describing the annual ritual of the British family seaside holiday. The ocean’s waters are riddled with mysteries that have yet to be solved. You’ll discover some of them if you go through these beautiful ocean poems. ‎ 1.

The English Bible: King James Version, The New Testament and Apocrypha. A Norton Critical Edition. Edited by Gerald Hammond and Austin Busch. W. W. Norton, 2012. Gorgeously written, this poem begins by describing the water as unraveling velvet. Fanning describes how the water fills the earth, but never fully encompasses it. Water is always changing its shape, filling yet fleeting. It is everywhere, yet never within your control. The simple vocabulary and rhymes paired with the colourful images of sea life make it an easy poem for children to follow. It will also hopefully help them to use their imaginations to visualise some of the creatures that can be found under the sea!Did you know? The sea covers more than 70 percent of the surface of our planet. That’s a lot of space for sea creatures to roam. What’s more, over 80 percent of the ocean remains unexplored – meaning no one has ever been there or knows what could be living down there. The ocean, which is both wild and serene, deadly and beautiful, is full of contrasts and mystery. Ocean poems can be dedicated to portraying the heart of the ocean, as well as analogies for romance and trauma, among other things. ‎
