Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Loss of the Schooner Kestrel & Other Poems is a contemporary book of sea poetry based on recreational boating and commercial fishing. The boats in Dey’s poems are many and varied, and he writes about them in both literal and figurative ways. He regards yachts not as images of conspicuous consumption but as vehicles of trial and transport, and in this he is revolutionary. He sees them in the continuum of ships. The title poem is a narrative about the predicament of a modern sailor in a traditional battle against an ageless sea.

Book excerpt: Praise for WESTPORT POINT ? Poems A sailor, commercial fisherman, and published poet, Richard Dey has inhabited the several worlds of Westport Point. He has found love there and the wrenching absence of love. He has become a witness to its seasons. This remarkable gathering is both Deys tribute to this riverine world and an unforgettable account of his Westport passages. Llewellyn Howland III, author of No Ordinary Being: W. Starling Burgess and The New Bedford Yacht Club: A History With experience both as a fisherman and a sailor, Richard Dey represents a unique American voice. For those of us that work and play and identify intimately with small boats, he is our Robert Frost. Dey is the author of clean, powerful, and personal verse about coastal New England life: on the docks, at the tiller, walking the marsh's edge, or gazing in the shed in winter and seeing far more than a boat under a tarp. Richard J. King, series editor of "Seafaring America" and author of The Devil's Cormorant Richard Dey is the laureate of southeastern Massachusetts and its shoreline. He writes with a sturdy New England eloquence and makes poetry from what many of us take for granted: this sandy, rocky coast; the changeable offshore waters; the stubborn, deep-souled people who live and work here. Charles McGrath, former editor of The New York Times Book Review

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is at once the biography of an Englishman who became the pioneering charterboat skipper of an American yacht, and a history of the charterboat business in the islands. Morris Nicholson’s story reflects a time now all but vanished in the islands, beginning when they were neglected colonial outposts and a single yacht meant income for the islanders. In no other book is there an account of how skippered yachts, bareboats, and headboats came to sail the Caribbean Sea and became an economic sector. However it is Nicholson’s story—and his stories of others—that drives the narrative and fills it with human interest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These poems reflect the experience of a contemporary American writer and sailor in the West Indies. Richard Dey comes to the islands in a tradition that began with Philip Freneau in 1775; but it is also a tradition of expatriates anywhere, and of literate travel writing. The poems bear witness to the tremendous change in the islands as they moved from neglected colonies to modern mini-states, as well as the changes within the poet as he grew over thirty-five years, from youth through middle age. Almost unknown before Dey sailed there, Bequia, the place of these poems, is now on the literary map.

Book excerpt: It is the spring of 1775, and the American colonies have begun the machinations that will lead them to war. Captain Jonathan Barlow has just outfitted Kestrel, a sleek, fast, and heavily armed schooner that is destined to set sail, delivering cannon, powder, and shot to the fledgling militia in New England. Through treacherous encounters, battles, and storms, Barlow leads Kestrel and crew from Philadelphia to New York, Boston, and back while interacting with many of the prominent figures and events of the time. Coming under suspicion of treason by the captain of a British Man of War, Barlow and crew face certain hanging if convicted. Only Barlow’s tenacity, coupled with a possible positive turn of events, might save them all from the vengeful reality of the hangman’s noose.
