When Sea Billows Roll

"When Sea Billows Roll" is poetry for the broken. For those becoming weary of struggle, and those who seek adventure and hope, Hatcher's fourth book of American Poetry echoes the prairie cathedrals of Carl Sandburg, puts flowers in the offering plate of Walt Whitman, and howls and scratches to the beat poets like Allen Ginsburg and Jack Kerouac. Hatcher's Free Verse poetry is rhythmic, and "Sea Billows" tackles parenthood, justice, grief, marriage, and contrasts faith and doubt.
