Rough Sea is a collection of poems that do not shy away from life's complexity. J.P. White's poems vividly portray the natural world as well as human society, both worlds full of cruelty and beauty. The poems show an openness to some of the bitter truths a mature person must realize, as well as an unflagging openness to amazement and delight. This is the work of a mature, highly skilled poet.

Industry Reviews

Rough Sea is a handbook that sometimes shows us how to navigate the rough seas of this world, but also how to let go of all navigation and be carried away in amazement.

-Jim Moore, author of Prognosis

Rough Sea is a collection of poems with big range. Their meticulous craftsmanship and vividly rendered imagery produce rich sequences of small moments made numinous and memorable. Elastic and expansive, the voice reveals its intimacy with the natural world in all its beauty and cruelty, while equally at home in the human realm, also beautiful and cruel. In language that travels easily between snappy colloquialism and more formal phrasings, the poems seem boundless in their curiosity ... This is the work of a poet unafraid to tackle the complexities of our increasingly crazy world, and he does so with verve and distinction.

-Chase Twichell, author of Things as It Is
