The Forgotten Shore - Linstroth J. P.
The Forgotten Shore is a fascinating volume of poetry, and according to the author, represents a kind of “archaeology of emotions” to be excavated and explored. At times, the language is difficult and confounding, as J. P. Linstroth often references Greek mythology and archaic speech. Yet, there is something profound about his poetry that draws the reader toward an inextricable communion with his personal emotions and his unique observations of the world. Somehow, there is something akin to Seamus Heaney in Linstroth’s abstract poetic style and his linguistic fecundity. His poetry is at once challenging but also accessible. In all, it is a book of poetry to be cherished and read—and then read again.
