Eating Oysters at the Beach
We lean on the wet newspapers
and touch the split shells,
feel
their raw, cold wetness,
while the ocean quietly lays
Sample
Poem from its
salt down beyond the windows
The
Lay of the Land and
rain falls like pitchforks.
I hope the room leading into death
has
lamps like these on the table,
so
that our farewell to everything
will have the ease and last as long
as ordering another beer
to wait out the rain.

Although Pelican Press publishes books on a limited basis, we
focus on helping you format and edit your book for publication. Therefore, if you've finally completed that manuscript, we
can help you "finish" it. The finishing may take a little more work, but you will like the result. And so will your
publisher - whether your publisher is Pelican Press, another publishing company, or YOU.
If you have some other document you need to have edited - an article, a
brochure, a newsletter, even a business or personal letter - we can help you with that as well. Contact us by phone or by
e-mail for information or to schedule a free consultation.
