See the flash of the bluefish over the main, The gleam of the bright striped bass! Then the braided line fling, let the reel hum its strain, And so the gay moments shall pass. --From "The Angler's Chant" by Isaac McLellan
A beautiful keepsake edition from the Everyman's Pocket Library series, The Art of Angling features poetry from around the world inspired by the art, sport, and philosophy of fishing. An eclectic mix of poets both classic and modern (Homer, Matsuo Basho-, Elizabeth Bishop, and Mary Oliver, among others) explore all aspects of angling--from the lightly entertaining to the thrillingly adventurous to the spiritually revealing. Passionate fisherfolk will fall for this literary collection hook, line, and sinker!
