Before he became Christopher North of Blackwood’s Magazine, John Wilson wrote this long poem of a ship lost on moonlit seas and two lovers cast away on a palm-covered island. The volume also gathers The Angler’s Tent, about a fishing holiday in the Highlands, and shorter lyrics on Melrose Abbey, spring and a French exile.
