The poems were written using a Surrealist technique called automatic writing – a kind of poetic impressionism after speed-reading. The effect is a kind of dreamlike state – everything isn't quite as it should be, as though it had all been seen through the facet of a diamond. The poems are lyrical, erotic, gentle, happy, sad and strangely beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA More Tender Ocean\u003c\/i\u003e is unusual but immensely moving and compelling, tender but not maudlin. 'What goes on seems ordinary,' writes Caple. Rest assured, it is not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Natalee Caple","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48308087881979,"sku":"9781552450574","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781552450574.jpg?v=1772484720","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/a-more-tender-ocean-9781552450574","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
