These poems, small stops strung along the daily commute, bring presence to the dead time, the empty time, the blank space between departure and arrival.

Winner of the Raven Chapbooks award, 2022.
In her new chapbook, intertidal: poems for the littoral zone, Zoe Dickinson has written a stunning collection of breathtaking poems about the precious shoreline of the Pacific West Coast. Not only are these poems lyrically descriptive, but they are also scientifically accurate, knowledgeable and edifying. This collection is heartbreakingly sympathetic. How much Zoe Dickinson loves this place: “tiny sandlances touch up / small silver mouths / round as rain / kiss the surface tension. . .” The whole world around her is delicate, frangible, on the fathomless brink, and always, in her words, beautiful and vastly worthwhile.
— Arleen Paré, author of Time Out of Time and Lake of Two Mountains
