Uncertain Shores

Beach (Sand in the Clam) has a sense of reminiscing about the past, moments frozen in time with his wife. The memories of the beach altered from what it once was. As You Pass By is an echo of war and the despair it leaves in its absence. John Marks takes his readers on a journey to Vietnam, where he was faced with horrific sights and painful memories that he still carries with him today, but however agonising they were, Marks was able to find love and hope. Uncertain Shores is a collection of poetry about the ambiguity of being travellers in strange lands, the hazy future, and the feelings elicited from it. It makes you wonder about the after, leaving you with a sense of want and longing, aching to reach out into the vastness of the unknown.
