Since 2010 Philip Watson Kuepper has written more than 100 rowing poems on the award-winning rowing history website ‘Hear The Boat Sing’ (HTBS). It is from these poems, HTBS editor Goeran R Buckhorn has selected 25 that form the first part of this collection. The 15 poems in the second part of this book have been chosen by the poet himself and have never been published, neither on the web, nor in print. Kuepper’s poems on rowing have topics about everything between the daily life and the divine, some inspired from his many travels in Europe. They are carefully crafted, some witty and several with a wonderful twist at the end.
