Produced by Marc D'Hooghe (From images generously made available by the Internet Archive.) "Irradiations; Sand and Spray" by John Gould Fletcher is a collection of poetic works written in the early 20th century. The book primarily explores the themes of nature, the sea, and the emotional landscape of the human experience, employing rich imagery and musicality throughout its verses. Fletcher, a notable figure in American modernist poetry, aims to rejuvenate the art of poetry by experimenting with form and rhythm, addressing his craft’s principles in the preface. The collection is divided into two main parts: "Irradiations" and "Sand and Spray," with the latter presented as a "sea-symphony." In "Irradiations," Fletcher contemplates various elements of nature, using striking metaphors and vivid descriptions to evoke emotional responses from readers. Meanwhile, "Sand and Spray" comprises several variations that celebrate the dynamic relationship between the sea and humanity. Each section presents scene after scene, from the chaos of storms to tranquil moments on the shore, capturing the powerful yet delicate interplay of elements. Through these explorations, Fletcher emphasizes the poetic voice's ability to convey complex emotions and experiences drawn from the natural world.
