Reading this poetry is like exhaling after holding one's breath for too long. A remarkable observer of the ways of water, wing, wind, and word. Astoundingly immersive... Transformative... Breathtaking beauty and wonder. These poems marry the skill of a naturalist with the talent of a poet. 'Where my longing ends' presents more than one hundred seventy poems by peregrine about the hidden rocky shores of Downeast New England, bringing together many poems from earlier collections (including thirty-nine sonnets) and introducing nearly twenty previously unpublished poems. Many of the poems in this collection explore liminalities, in particular the perceptible (and often imperceptible) edges and boundaries of sea, sky, and self, awareness of which often manifests as a sense of longing for the sea itself. Readers of peregrine's poems will be glad to find gathered here for the first time all the 'Bartlett Bay' poems and stories, sea-songs and chanteys, and story-poems about earlier days on the rocky shore.
