A decade of poems from the edge of the sea. The Fisherman’s Daughter is a tribute to life in all its forms, carried by the watercolours that inspired them: wonderful and beautiful and terrifying. A life shaped by salt air and the rhythms of the ocean, an invitation to find beauty in every moment.
i wanted to be alone
to have an ocean of my own
to speak whale

beyond where
i had never been
and it was glorious
thenthe storm the sea
almost swallowed mei drifted
far
yet
you came looking for me
