Still a wonder
5 stars
Alexis Pauline Gumbs writes about humanity through the embodied senses of different marine mammals. Threading in critiques of colonialism, capitalism and eugenics, they offer a hopeful but biting poetic reflection in 19 chapters.
This is my second time reading this book cover-to-cover, and it's one I dip into regularly for a chapter here or there. Every word is perfectly placed, every topic treated with love and respect. It is one of my favourite books, and will remain so.
