As Shaughnessy conjures our potential future, she movingly (and often with humor) envisions an age where cephalopods might rule over humankind, a fate she suggests we may just deserve after destroying their oceans. These heartbreaking, terrified poems are the battle cry of a woman who is fighting for the survival of the world she loves, and a stirring exhibition of who we are as a civilization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brenda Shaughnessy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1524711497\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781524711498\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/29\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.80w x 0.40d","brand":"Brenda Shaughnessy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44050666979583,"sku":"9781524711498","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_45a309ae-04cf-4423-b701-e4c191b03810.jpg?v=1685008542","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-octopus-museum-brenda-shaughnessy-9781524711498","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
