Publisher's Synopsis
INTRODUCTION by Mac Strobel
From the author of A Long Road to Peace, Matthew Cox furthers his exploration into a relationship between water and the human spirit through poetry and illustration. Written along shores of the West Coast, he gathers ideas about the fresh water of Lake Michigan, and daydreams about the seas of his Filipino heritage. A lifelong passion for the ocean and surfing flows throughout his creative expression, infusing the collection. Meshing together liquid experiences and a whirlpool of emotions, he takes you on an imaginative five chapter journey. Explore the shallows or plunge as deep as you desire. All proceeds from this book will be gifted to art supplies for the studio located in his family's village within the islands of Cebu, Philippines.
