Field NotesAnna Selby’s Field Notes takes us beneath the waves with poems and poetic-studies, written on waterproof notebooks in the Atlantic Ocean.
Part of the magic of reading the notes made underwater, is the feeling of swimming, so visceral at times, it’s shocking. In Field Notes, we’re in the realm of sensual discovery, of casting aside the anthropomorphism that can pollute our relationships with creatures, both in the air and in the sea. This work is immersed in immediacy, and intimacy; illuminating observation in the language of precision, transformation and scientific respect. |
