Markers And Mysteries
Summary
A weathered grave marker, found in a decaying sea-wall, begins this exploration of mysteries, markers, placed persons, islanders and sailors. These motifs criss-cross and develop into both prose and verse in this book about history and poetry. Its a summer home on an island in Maine. Its Everyman and Everywoman. Guides like Buckminster Fuller and Wendell Berry are woven into the text, and the book is rich in family sons and daughters and grandchildren, and the family debators, father and mother. Islanders are the “placed persons,” and they all come together to explore the relationship between mystery and markers.
