Traveling the Blue Road: Poems of the Sea

32 pp. | Quarto/Seagrass | December, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-1-63322-276-2 $17.95
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Bob Hansman & Jovan Hansman. Fourteen poems in various styles by twelve poets, including Jane Yolen, Naomi Shihab Nye, and Paul Janeczko, reflect on human sea migration from the fifteenth century to the present day. The moving collection focuses on migrants' struggles during significant historical events (the Middle Passage; Mediterranean refugee crisis). Sea-related quotes throughout and appended notes provide additional context. Evocative and beautifully designed mixed-media illustrations mimic archival images.
