Plain-voiced, charged with their own energy of direct expression, the poems in Patricia Gray's first collection chart a woman's way through the vexed and rapturous elements of the local world--candidly tracing its domestic and erotic edges, and always awake to those instants of illumination that lift us out of the ordinary / for a moment, shaking us into change. --Eamon Grennan.

The Polk Street Kids are coming--on their class trip to Boston. They're going to fly kites on Boston Common, walk the Freedom Trail, and put on a play--with Richard Beast Best as Paul Revere. Poor Beast can't remember his costume, or what he's supposed to do in the play. All he knows is that he has Dawn Bosco for a wife. And 16 kids. If only he could fly away, just like his kite!

This book is about why bad things happen to good people, especially to this particular young lady. She does not understand how the God she has been taught to revere could allow her to experience such catastrophes. It seems on every hand that she was dealt a bad hand. The young ladys lack of self-esteem and self-worth contributed to her wearing her emotions noticeably on her sleeves. The young lady could not turn to her pastor because he was lustful, and she was afraid that something would happen to her parents if she told them. Never in her wildest dream could she foresee Gods ultimate plan for her life. All of what she experienced was to help her prepare for the destination ahead in God.

Four seasons of immersion in New England’s Great Marsh “Like Wendell Berry and Rachel Carson, Hanlon is a true poet-ecologist, sharing in exquisitely resonant prose her patient observations of nature’s most intimate details. As she and her husband, through summer and snow, swim their local creeks and estuaries, we marvel at the timeless yet fragile terrain of both marshlands and marriage. This is the book to awaken all of us, right now, to how our coastline is changing and what it means for our future.” —Julia Glass, author of Three Junes and A House Among the Trees The Great Marsh is the largest continuous stretch of salt marsh in New England, extending from Cape Ann to New Hampshire. Patricia Hanlon and her husband built their home and raised their children alongside it. But it is not until the children are grown that they begin to swim the tidal estuary daily. Immersing herself, she experiences, with all her senses in all seasons, the vigor of a place where the two ecosystems of fresh and salt water mix, merge, and create new life. In Swimming to the Top of the Tide, Hanlon lyrically charts her explorations, at once intimate and scientific. Noting the disruptions caused by human intervention, she bears witness to the vitality of the watersheds, their essential role in the natural world, and the responsibility of those who love them to contribute to their sustainability. Patricia Hanlon is a visual artist who paints the beautiful ecosystem of New England’s Great Marsh and is involved in the watershed organizations of Greater Boston. Swimming to the Top of the Tide is her first book.
