An exploration of the exhibit Oceans of Plastic by artist Shelia Rogers, who cleverly works with plastic and other found material she has collected over years of beachcombing in an effort to raise awareness of a challenging global situation.
Jason Byassee examines fatherhood, mortality, resurrection, and the hope of a good surf.
In this poem, Misty Anne Winzenried describes a visit to the beach—the children playing in the surf, the endless expanse of sea and sky, the surprises of tide pools—and invites readers to “lick / memories from their fingers” as they recall their own life lessons at the ocean.
