Summary:

<div>The coastline, where sea, land and sky meet, a place of incident and memory, threads through poems which range from brief lyrics to an imagined account of the marriage of nineteenth-century missionary Samuel Marsden. Indeed, the idea of spiritual marriage pervades the book: a union of elements in imaginary and sometimes historical contexts.</div>
