What the Sea Gives cover

Fake news rules the airwaves, AI fills the skies, where’s the information you can trust?

Alan Riach’s new collection of poems offers answers: in the work of art, whether poem, painting, musical composition, or else in the object of your closest attention, a lover, close family, friends.

Is the place of love the only place of trust?

What the Sea Gives is perfect for not only lovers of poetry but any readers who value the importance of art and the connection it provides us.

Capacious, erudite and inclusive... Alan Riach demonstrates the intensities of a life of engagement, generously lived, that AI could never match or mimic. Caroline McCracken-Flesher, Professor of English, University of Wyoming

Riach’s book pushes on for a good-naturedness and anti-melancholy which is sometimes hard to find in contemporary writing. It’s terrific! Richard Price, poet and former Head of Modern British Collections, the British Library
