Meet the beachcomber
Every good find has a story attached.
G.J. Dürrschmidt has been collecting stories since his Long Island childhood, when a day at the shore could turn up blue glass, a stranger’s secret, or a reason to look at the world a little more closely.
Blue Sea Glass and Other Rare Finds gathers poems and prose about friendship, desire, food, sex, growing older, and the small treasures that surface when you take your time.
