Richard struggled for much of his life with a mystery. Why was he uneasy and uncomfortable? Why did he feel like an imposter? In his sixties, he made a discovery that would change his life and his creative work. He realized that his life as a man did not fit with who he knew himself to be. He began the journey of transition that led him to emerge in his San Francisco community as "Richelle Lee," leaving "Richard" behind.

From the creators of Morvoren and Mordardh comes this new poetry anthology, capturing the enthralling nature of the sea.

Cornwall’s dramatic coastline, thrust headlong into the ocean, means you are never far from the water. What songs does the ocean sing? What secrets are whispered by the waves? What mysterious creatures swim beneath its glittering surface?
