description: <div>Williamsburg&apos;s historic and natural surroundings inspired the illustrative photography and poetry for this book. My first book of haiku, The Haiku Guide to the Inside Passage, documented a spectacular 1700 nautical-mile cruise through Canada and Alaska on a 28-foot trawler. This bookcelebratesthe small tidewater areabounded byWilliamsburg, Yorktown and Jamestown.Thejoy of observing and appreciating what I discovered in and around my ownbackyard was just as meaningful as what I found on the remote shores of Alaska. </div>
