Heron Sea, Short Poems of the Chesapeake Bay, is a
startlingly moving look into the heart of the poet and the
incomparable beauty of the Chesapeake Bay. Author M. Kei, editor
of the critically acclaimed 'Fire Pearls,' issues his first
collection of poetry, focusing on the Chesapeake Bay area.
Composed while crewing aboard one of the last skipjacks on the
bay, and living and working on the Bay's shores, each poem is a
loving portrait of life and loss at the Head of the Bay.
Heron Sea is
“a startlingly moving look into the heart of the poet

collage of amazing depth and insight. Poetry lovers, sailors,
everyone in Bay country, and anyone who wants a powerful and
beautiful read, should buy this book!”
