Tidal Language is a four-year exploration of the intertidal zone. Through poetry and photography, Alonna Shaw examines the traces left behind. In this natural and manufactured evidence, beauty, loss, and consequence come into view.

Humor emerges from strange juxtapositions, where unexpected collisions of language and image ask us to see differently.

Blending personal experience, environmental illness, and visual art, she uses hybrid poetics to explore the impact of human interlopers in these shifting tidal margins.

This collection invites readers to pause, observe, and reconsider their relationship with nature and the language that shapes it.
