1. The Draw Of The Sea
A lyrical blend of reportage, history, and memoir that explores why people are compelled toward the shore, following fishermen, surfers, divers, artists, and beachcombers in coastal communities. Through stories of wrecking and gleaning, boatbuilding and wave-watching, it reflects on risk and sustenance, beauty and loss, and how the sea shapes livelihoods, identity, and imagination, while confronting environmental change—from erosion and plastic pollution to shifting fisheries—along the ever-shifting edge where land meets water.
