Description of life and people on a small New England island in the 19th Century
Celia Thaxter è stata una scrittrice americana di poesie e racconti, la cui opera è profondamente legata al paesaggio marittimo. Trascorse gli anni della formazione nelle Isles of Shoals, dove suo padre prestava servizio come guardiano del faro. Le sue poesie, apparse per la prima volta su The Atlantic Monthly, le valsero un'ampia popolarità negli Stati Uniti alla fine del XIX secolo. Thaxter fu celebrata per la sua abilità nel catturare la bellezza e la selvaggia natura del paesaggio, in particolare della costa marina, esplorando temi come la solitudine, la bellezza e la connessione dell'uomo con il mondo naturale.
