Description: The coastline around Norah Head is littered with shipwrecks, and voyages cut short by wild weather and unseen obstacles. In this poem, a woman finds solace in the magic and power of Norah Head as she begins to hear a language in the water and be comforted by ‘Mother Nature’ and how life can flourish, in new ways, after tragedy. Company of Lost Souls is the title poem in a collection of poems.
