Pirates of the Narrow Seas 1 : The Sallee Rovers

Genre Fiction

<p>Contemporary tanka in English is an exciting literature that continues to grow and develop in the hands of increasing diverse poets around the world. Originating in Japan over fourteen hundred years ago, it remains a strong and flexible form evoking profound responses in the reader. Although a tanka may be as small as a pebble, it creates expanding ripples in the mind of a receptive reader, ripples that touch far shores, with the polished perfection of the poem as the still center of meaning and experience. This year's team consisting of M. Kei (USA), Editor-in-chief, Patricia Prime (NZ), Magdalena Dale (RO), Amelia Fielden (AU/JP), Claire Everett (UK), Owen Bullock (NZ), David Terelinck (AU), Janick Belleau (CAN), David Rice (USA), read over eighteen thousand poems to select the best for inclusion in this, the final volume in the must-read series.</p>

History & Criticism

Man in the Crescent Moon is the latest adventure in the swashbuckling Pirates of the Narrow Seas series. Isam Tangueli is a gangly youth of nineteen, longing to leave home and become a famous corsair, and trying to understand his attraction to men. He joins the crew of the Grey Wolf and fights the Spanish on land, at sea, and under water. Under the command of the short but feisty Rajet Rais, young Isam learns the skills of navigation and leadership necessary to become "Captain Tangle," the most notorious corsair of the age. The hallmarks of the Pirates of the Narrow Seas series are all present—diverse and engaging characters, storms at sea, desperate ship fights, hand-to-hand combat, captures, rescues, and escapes, all told with authentic detail. "Isam Agha Hamet saw his father killed and vowed to become a great corsair. But working with his uncle on their galley will not lead to fame and fortune. When Rajet Rais and the Grey Wolf seek refuge and the Spanish attack he must seize the opportunity to fulfil his dream. But will love for a slave stop him."--Astrodene's Historic Naval Fiction

Man in the Crescent Moon: A Pirates of the Narrow Seas Adventure

The unmistakable voice of the master poet is present. Culled from old notebooks dating back as far as 1976, these never-before-published tanka show the origination and development of Sanford Goldstein, “the grand old man of tanka.” Nearly ninety years old, Goldstein’s career is one of the longest in English-language tanka. He has co-translated the modern Japanese tanka poets of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as numerous other works of Japanese literature. He has edited journals and anthologies, and even now, is still writing tanka poetry. As befitting an artist of his age, he has organized his unpublished works and selected those that he would like to see published. Each poem is so artless it almost seems found rather than composed, but such effortlessness is the result of long practice. Scholars of the future will examine Tanka Left Behind to understand the emergence of one of the most influential tanka poets working in English, but his fans will be delighted for the opportunity to peer into his early career.
