This varied poetic collection touches on alienation, conservation, environmentalism, and the joyful psyche and practice of wave-riding. Scott Rosin presents a sensual wordscape that is accessible, thoughtful, and reflective of his half-century among the breakers. Sometimes classical, always biographical, his poetry employs the beat and rhythm of the ocean.
Rosin’s writing goes far beyond the clichés of surf poetry, offering a powerful, introspective exploration of not just waves but also the environment and the planet. We journey with him through waves, storms, and the natural world and come to know the beauty and power of the sea.
Reviews
“Turn Your Back on the Shore” is not just a surf poetry book; it’s a celebration of our planet’s majesty and the magic of the ocean. — Scott’s favorite Amazon review so far
