Intertidal

Presented as daily entries, the narrative blends field notes, sensory detail, and meditative reflection to illuminate a multispecies coast. Readers encounter frog calls through the night, distant butterflies over the sea, and the churning of longshore currents, all while learning how communities work to protect homes and livelihoods for both human and non-human neighbors. The language is jewel-like and precise, inviting close attention to the living world and prompting readers to consider their own place within it.

Through accessible explorations of coastal ecology, climate awareness, and environmental ethics, the book makes complex ideas tangible without sacrificing lyric depth. It encourages moving beyond old binaries between sea and land, mind and nature, offering a consciously mindful path to reimagining values and relationships with the world we share.
