Produktbeschreibung

Set in an Alaskan fish camp, these vividly drawn poems show the beauty of family amid seascape changes wrought by the climate crisis. In this splendid collection, Vivian Faith Prescott introduces the storyteller Salmon Woman who weaves scenes of sea and community in poems that bring the journey of salmon-and salmon people-to life. Salmon and people are intimately connected on this remote island where all beings face the ravages of change and the unexpected relationships that bind them together.
