Poetry of the Sea: Masterworks of Sea Poetry • Study Leader: Henry Buermeyer
Mondays, October 6 - October 27 - 12:30 PM - 2:30 PM
In the opening chapter of “Moby Dick,” Ishmael speaks about the irresistible force that draws man to the sea. Wherever the ocean meets the shore, says Herman Melville’s narrator, man will be found keeping a vigil, watching the sea. Throughout history, poets have felt the pull of the sea, exploring the full range of nautical fears, dreams, and longings, including shipwrecks, frothing foam, and seaweed. We will be reading and discussing poems by Masefield, Whitman, Sandburg, Longfellow, and more.
