Anchored by a vivid and resounding sequence, Seacliff enacts the relentless crash and dissolution of our bodies, landscapes, and spirits, even as they are recombined to return. And so this book serves as a reminder of the primeval rhythm that sustains us. Unlike other works, this seascape impels a meditation that is not merely metaphorical. In the face of very real forces, the uncertainty is not whether one must surrender, but when and how. This testament of perseverance invites us to submit to-- and to celebrate-- the vast vigor of our planet. Here, alongside the Northern California coast, Seacliff offers a path, one lyric runner of shine, out to a fresh horizon.
