A Nest at Sea is the first book of poems by Daniel J. Plotz, centered on the nomadic vagrancy of a detached alcoholic, the imaginative embodiment of a sourced lyric from a man in isolation, and the communed trove of verse he adapts from path to milieu - the vast harbors of New York. These poems teem with climactic anticipation, comprising the City's interwoven currents as a catapult to certainty, to prospective resolution, often with reference to an outset, launched from the gestation of a mold to signify completion, equally accumulative and antagonistic through an endeavor of self-being. Deliberate and steered with canvas, this relation is a conveyance beyond chance. ©2016 Copyright Material
