Slow Motion: The Log of a Chesapeake Bay Skipjack

Slow Motion is a break-through collection of watermen poetry from the Chesapeake Bay by a poet who actually knows what he is talking about. M. Kei crews on the title boat, the Skipjack Martha Lewis. The short lyric forms used in Slow Motion are perfect vehicles for the laconic voice of the waterman. Kei has captured a bit of Chesapeake magic in a bottle and all who love the Bay, boating, and a poetry, are a little richer for it. –Denis M. Garrison, author of First Winter Rain and Sailor in the Rain and Other Poems.
