Bounty

The collection begins with sonnets honoring Frank Hurley, the photographer of Shackleton's ill-fated Endurance expedition in 1915. The heart of the book intertwines the narratives of the Bounty and the Odyssey, exploring themes of adventure and survival through sonnets dedicated to the blind fiddler, Michael Byrn. This blend of historical homage and literary reflection creates a rich tapestry of maritime exploration and human resilience.
