The book cover of Benjamin B. White's "Always Ready: Poems from a Life in the U.S. Guard" depicts a beachside lifeguard station looking out into the surf. A cartoonish set of radiating life-rings mimics a sunset. The headline on the slide reads, "Laughter + Service + Pride—Who Doesn't Love a Good Sea Story?" Also: "In Print + On Kindle! On Sale Now!"
