Beyond the Breakers and other Poems


Gelesen von LibriVox Volunteers

George Sterling was born on Long Island, New York but spent most of his life in California where he had a successful career in business and finance. In later years he settled in the small coastal community of Carmel-by-the-Sea.

Sterling's poetry was strongly influenced by the natural environment of Northern California, which was still largely unspoilt in his day, and particularly by the proximity of the vast Pacific Ocean.
