The Ship and the Storm: Poems - Hardcover

The Ship and the Storm is a conversation through poetry between two unique voices, exploring themes of nature and nostalgia, struggle and the self. Diane Callahan and David Dixon take readers from Ohio's familiar landscapes to the battlefields of America's War on Terror-and everywhere in between. Callahan brings her incisive wit to examinations of wanderlust and womanhood, while Dixon casts a veteran's sincere-but-jaded eye toward violence and regret. The Ship and the Storm is a collection that rewards contemplation, with each revisit uncovering new threads of meaning and connection.

Diane Callahan is a writer and editor who also happens to work at an art gallery. On her YouTube channel, Quotidian Writer, she provides advice for aspiring authors. She serves as the managing editor for Story Garden Publishing and was the former fiction editor for Consequence, a literary magazine centered on the consequences of war.
