Poems of the Point (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781956285239)

Imagine growing up on beachfront property in the Puget Sound where the waves crash a hundred feet from your front door, the seagulls provide the morning wakeup call, and sea lions pop up their heads each day to check on you. Poems of the Point features a walk down the beach, finding an eagle's nest, childhood memories of boating and fishing for cod, searching for Lewis moon shells, picking cherries and raspberries, digging for clams and geoducks, spying orca in the Sound, and even a chance viewing of the illusive Mt. Rainier on a clear day. If a piece of your heart already lies in the Pacific Northwest or you are open to having your heart captured by it, this book of poetry is for you.

"Cherian's poems are a delight-filled homing journey to Gig Harbor." --Ann Farley, author of Tell Her Yes

"Her arresting verses call us to pay attention to beauty, both material and invisible." --Sneha Abraham Villalva, Executive Speechwriter, UCLA "This debut collection is a heartfelt tribute to the enduring power of place." --Susan Donnelly, poet and teacher "I've long wanted to visit places in the Northwest like Gig Harbor, Washington. Now, via Cherian's beautiful poems, I can." --Ron Rozelle, author of Into That Good Night
