About this book

From the Lips of the Sea by Clinton Scollard delivers a tide of lyrical poems that turn the ocean’s roar into intimate meditation and timeless imagery. This poetry collection, rooted in late 19th-century literary sensibilities, drifts between mist-shrouded mornings, moonlit shores, and the mythic echoes of sailors and old mariners. Scollard’s verse explores themes of solitude, memory, and the sea’s voice as both muse and sibyl—inviting listeners to hear “the solemn secrets of infinity” in the rhythmic cadence of waves. Featuring evocative pieces such as “Sea Marvels,” “Dirge for a Sailor,” and “A Symphony of the Sea,” the work blends pastoral lyricism with maritime myth, drawing on classical allusion and gentle melancholy rather than plot. The language is musical and richly descriptive, ideal for audio performance: images of Argo’s oars, barques cutting fog, and tides that translate the soul’s longings unfold without narrative spoilers. Perfect for lovers of classic literature and sea poetry, fans of meditative lyric verse, or anyone seeking an atmospheric, audiobook escape to the shore. Listen to experience how Scollard’s poems turn the ocean’s speech into a balm for the reflective mind.
