Description
Poetry. John Mellor is a fisherman who owns his own boat. He grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, has spent his life fishing and boat owning and, somewhere along the way, writing poetry. He takes photographs too, companions to a visceral intensity his words often betray. Lewis Ellingham says, "Don't miss this. He's often very good."
