Wish the Whale Bell to be Made Fresh is a poetic anthology that drifts through the themes of whales, oceans, and the fragile bonds between humans and the natural world. Some poems touch directly on whales, while others float nearby—together forming a collective wish for the sea and its creatures to be renewed and protected.
The book is bound in soft cotton paper with suminagashi prints evoking the echoes of whale song, making it as tactile and meditative as the work it holds. All profits from its sale are donated to The Ocean Conservancy, supporting marine conservation and advocacy.
Featuring work from over 30 contributors—including Farnoosh Fathi, Julian Talamantez Brolaski, Phil Elverum, Jesse Ball, Tim Presley, Morgan Ritter, and more—this volume is both a literary gathering and a call to care for the ocean’s vast life.
A book of poems, a work of art, and an act of conservation.
