It is also one way of answering the question: what is an island? A work of briny imagination, this elemental ensemble takes us through the basaltic cracks of deep time, across roiling Atlantic seas to the shore's edge to meet with ancient seaweed spirits, airborne lighthouse keepers, fierce weather gods, rollicking skeleton kings and living ancestors, all while reckoning with--and revelling in--life at the edges.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiaries, essays, poems, notes, recipes and photographs make up this almanac of attention, which charts a journey through some of life's most pressing questions: What does it mean to be kin... to be kind?
