Spun-Yarn and Spindrift by Nora Holland

Spun-Yarn and Spindrift by Nora Holland is a lyrical collection inspired by coastal landscapes and maritime life. The title evokes both storytelling (“spun yarn”) and the sea’s wind-driven spray (“spindrift”), reflecting the collection’s blend of narrative imagination and vivid ocean imagery.

Holland’s poems capture the atmosphere of shoreline communities, shifting tides, and the powerful presence of the sea. Through rhythmic language and descriptive detail, the poems explore themes of travel, memory, and the enduring relationship between people and the ocean.

Spun-Yarn and Spindrift offers readers a poetic glimpse into maritime life and the storytelling traditions shaped by the sea.
