From Here to the Ocean (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798899902185)

From Here to the Ocean is a collection of poems that traverse landscapes, weaving between the lines of mixed-race and queer identity, from the streets of San Francisco to the realms of diasporic motherlands. Lucie Pereira, a poetry reader for Split Lip Magazine and winner of the Ó Bhéal Five Words International Poetry Competition, speaks to the search for love, belonging, and self-discovery that threads through young adulthood. The journey never strays too far from the water, encapsulating the expansive and transcendent presence of the sea.
