Checked out RantingGuy's channel: 'tis our man . . . the poet, probably the guitarist, and, I think, the warm voice reading the "Trawlerman".
Now with the merest biographical information on the elusive Mr. Howard Bull, my appreciation for "The Trawlerman" has, perhaps, a poet's face, voice, and time frame. I sense the words describe an era long preceding their poet, thus a strong historical element is assumed. A poignant eulogy?
A fine video. The reader's voice, the guitar and sounds of waves, the words themselves, the sea and fishing boat make their point with clarity and art. Thanks for the opportunity to experience "The Trawlerman" and these interesting comments.
Any information on the poet, Howard Bull? I find additional poems but no biographical information. For me, it is useful in hearing poetry to know who is talking, who writes the words and what that writer's own experience might be.
@MrFairwinds Sorry that the detail of the jellied ells disappointed you!
The peom wasn't intended as a handbook on deep sea fishing but merely a tribute to the guys who face nature's powerful forces to bring home food for our tables.
@RantingGuy im not trying to be rude, i do have respect for the fisherman who do this but what i think is funny is how u say "the guys who face nature's powerful forces to bring home food for our tables" !! i mean in all reality, they're choosing to do this job and they dont go out in 20 ft seas and -20 deg weather for weeks so john doe in utah can have dinner, its for the fat check he gets after every trip !!
