Ocean Of Childhood

A powerful and evocative poem about childhood in Newfoundland.  It is designed for both print and e-book with the spaces on the page working as punctuation.  Another movie for the mind, it takes as much account of layout as it does content. 

This is a poem not only for the ear, but also for the eye.

William Gough, author of "*Poet In A Pontiac,*" "David Blackwood:Master Printmaker" and “The Terra Nova Quartet" has returned to print with this book-length biographical poem about the birth and early years of his father.

This is Volume One of the Eight Volume:  "My Father In The Arms Of A Poem."

William Gough’s Writing:

Of “*The Proper Lover*:”... "Where the poems succeed in linking memory and philosophy, they exceed the limits of personal poetry and acquire a life of their own...." Toronto Star

Praise for the Terra Nova Quartet:... "William Gough brings it...straight from the heart.  Gough is a first-rate wordsmith.  His stories flow with wit and intelligence.  His unique blend of esoteric poetry and hard-line narrative shines a bright light on the human condition.  In short, Gough is a true literary artist.  No collection of books, private or public, is complete without his extraordinary Quartet."   *Michael Kanaly * – author of  “Thoughts of God,” “ Virus Clans” “The Voice Within” and “Room One”
