Fishing on the Pole Star Paul Pines

Poetry. "The sea's endlessness, its glittery surfaces, the often scruffy island life of the Bahamas are wonderfully recorded in Paul Pine's FISHING ON THE POLE STAR. Bright-scaled marlin populate the text, as do Wayne Atherton's mysteriously beautiful collages. The vision is spacious and colorful, awe- filled and deep dwelling."?Michael Heller

FISHING ON THE POLE STAR is full of wonder, for Pines knows that fishing correlates with the Arthurian Graal- search, the poet's hunt for the poem, the deep sea-voyage to heal the wounded soul. This collection places him in the tradition of Hektorovi?, Walton, Melville, Hemingway, and Hughes.?Richard Berengarten
