Turn Your Back on the Shore: Collected Surf Poetry by Scott Rosin - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Surf poetry rooted in the soul-surfing tradition

Scott Rosin’s Turn Your Back on the Shore is a vivid and thought-provoking poetry collection shaped by the author's half-century among the breakers. With humor, philosophy, and deep environmental awareness, these poems explore the ocean not only as a playground but as a witness, a teacher, and a refuge from modern life.

This varied collection touches on themes of alienation, conservation, environmentalism, and the joyful practice of wave-riding. Rosin presents a sensual wordscape that is accessible, reflective, and grounded in lived experience. Sometimes classical, sometimes satirical, always biographical, his poetry carries the beat and rhythm of the sea.

Whether you are a surfer, a lover of nature writing, or a reader drawn to poetry with an authentic voice and emotional depth, Turn Your Back on the Shore will take you away from our fast-paced civilization and into the watery wilds. Inside you’ll find poems that explore:

• Surf culture and the spirit of “soul surfing”
• Nature, environmentalism, and conservation
• Humor, memory, and the philosophy of the sea
• The tension between modern life and wild freedom

Turn Your Back on the Shore is a poetic journey into the ocean’s rhythm and into the quiet truths that only the ocean can reveal.
