Items related to SeaManShip: A User's Manual - Nine Configurations
`SeaManShip' is an extraordinary and challenging poem. The `Sea' of the title is a symbol of the natural world, `Man' represents human feelings and intellect, and `Ship' signifies the artificial or man-created.
By turns rhapsodic and incantatory, the poem is loosely based on the structure of a computer manual. The author writes of it that `SeaManShip charts the struggles of a man, perhaps an overly romantic one, forced to face reality and come to terms with the chaos and confusions of the modern world.'
