Description
This remarkable debut collection explores the lives of ten remarkable sea creatures, from the surface to the deepest ocean floor. Sabrina Imbler's essays invite us to envision a wilder, grander world, where the boundaries between life and death, family and community, are redefined.
Through her profiles of creatures such as the mother octopus, the Chinese sturgeon, and the bizarre Bobbitt worm, Imbler reveals the radical models of adaptation, survival, and care that can be found in the sea. Her own stories of family, relationships, and coming of age are woven throughout the book, creating a shimmering and otherworldly narrative that attunes us to new visions of our world and its miracles.
