Each one is a tribute to noticing the ever-changing nature of place: sea-birds and other wildlife, currents and tides, fellow swimmers and the writer’s own temperaments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eWritten over the course of a single year of regular swims, these poems also explore the unseen nature of water and its connection to ancestors and the dead.
