Publisher Marketing: Listening to Fish offers alternatives to arbitrary distinctions between poetry and prose, interrupting the perceived organisation of creative production into classes, providing an original creative contribution to an avid contemporary debate. The sequence "Wall Meditations" functions as a chorus across the collection—you-as-I, as-us—an example of the power of literature to enter our affect cycle, as if it were lived experience. In Listening to Fish I encounter a resplendent conceit—the weft of the underwater world deftly reconstituted through a formidable eye as a meditation upon possibility.
