Tidal Language is a four-year exploration of the intertidal zone. Through poetry and photography, Alonna Shaw examines the traces left behind, both organic and manufactured, capturing moments of beauty, loss, and consequence.
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.
Alonna Shaw is a place-based poet who works across poetry, visual art, and film. Her work explores how memory and the body shape what we carry when language falls short.
A radio conversation and post about the process.
