The Distance Between Shores

Brian Tracy’s exquisite poems evoke those “ghostlier demarcations” summoned by Wallace Stevens, another poet for whom the sea is muse. Because Tracy is a poet of powerful restraint and beautiful nuance, The Distance Between Shores is a book of delicately suspended, liminal spaces, spaces in which one hears whispers from the other world as well as “the howl and hunger” of this one. — Gail Wronsky, author of Poems for Infidels and Dying for Beauty.
