The ocean remembers every step, but it never keeps the pain.
Waves erase footprints — and leave flowers behind 🌊🌸

Selkie rises from the deep,
With a sand dollar, whole.

Missed our dive into contemporary poets whose work embodies the ocean as connective tissue in the Pacific? 🌊 From Chamorro to Māori voices, their words keep the tides alive. Catch up here 👇
#OceanPoetry #PacificVoices #OceanHoptimism
Across these poets we see:
• Ocean as homeland & archive
• Sea as political & endangered
• Breath, migration, & survival
• Climate grief & justice
Ocean poetry is more than waves. It’s testimony & future.
#OceanPoetry #HopeAsFuel
Kanaka Maoli poet Brandy Nālani McDougall writes of ocean as ancestor & nation. In “The Salt-Wind, Ka Makani Paʻakai,” she frames the sea as homecoming, kinship, & sovereign space for Native Hawaiian identity.
#HawaiianPoetry #IndigenousVoices #OceanPoetry
Robert Sullivan’s “Star Waka” is a landmark Māori work: 100 poems charting waka (canoe) as vessel, ancestor, & ocean archive. His poetry keeps the Pacific alive as a map of memory, migration, & future.
#MāoriPoetry #StarWaka #OceanPoetry
Marshallese poet Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner centers ocean, atolls, & survival in a time of rising seas. Her poems & performances carry Pacific colonial pain, resilience, & climate justice, making poetry a vessel for both grief & hope.

Where the sea carves hymns into weathered wood,
and moss clings like memory to its spine.
Each wave forgets; the jetty remembers.

Beneath the sky, the ocean breathes.
Its waves remember what we’ve forgotten. 🌊✨

“deep sea bioluminescent creatures
glide through the abyss

through the twilight of the reef” 🌊

Ocean at sunrise in Delray Beach, orange hues and a woman out at sea lifting her arms in prayer
I lost myself
a dozen times
floating in the morning sea
rolls and rolls
of heaven’s scribes
dancing themselves into me
