“On the surface, these poems are about nature. But they are submerged icebergs, every one.”
“Close observation of the natural world masterfully blended with profound reflections on life.”

The New York Times Spelling Bee attracts a large following of enthusiastic word lovers who delight in the daily challenge of ferreting out a list of words from a seemingly-random array of seven letters. A handful of Bee solvers delights in the challenge of composing poetry, essays, and more with words from the daily game. 'Sing to me, O world' compiles a selection of work by one of these “Hive poets” known as “peregrine from the rocky shore.” This volume, the fifth in a series, presents more than 160 poems, including seventeen not previously released, that explore our relationship with the natural world, as well as meditations on memory, solitude, and love. Readers who have come to appreciate peregrine’s poetry will be delighted to find 24 new sonnets in this volume, along with more poems in the Bartlett Bay series.
