The Octopus Museum by Brenda Shaughnessy


This is a brilliant, dark, raw, and moving collection of poems, one that reads like a story. Author Shaughnessy imagines a future in which octopuses reign, while humans get what they deserve for centuries of environmental neglect. Each poem is its own life message...a personal, mother’s longing for a time when her daily worries weren’t centered around survival and destruction. It is a call to action, utterly moving, and truly unforgettable.
