Rough Sea is a handbook that sometimes shows us how to navigate the rough seas of this world, but also how to let go of all navigation and be carried away in amazement.

-Jim Moore, author of Prognosis

Rough Sea is a collection of poems with big range. Their meticulous craftsmanship and vividly rendered imagery produce rich sequences of small moments made numinous and memorable. Elastic and expansive, the voice reveals its intimacy with the natural world in all its beauty and cruelty, while equally at home in the human realm, also beautiful and cruel. In language that travels easily between snappy colloquialism and more formal phrasings, the poems seem boundless in their curiosity ... This is the work of a poet unafraid to tackle the complexities of our increasingly crazy world, and he does so with verve and distinction.

-Chase Twichell, author of Things as It Is
