As Sherry puts it: “The ocean needs many diverse voices, and the Western Flyer is a place where they can come together—inviting curiosity that’s the first step toward true stewardship.” #OceanVoices #WesternFlyer #OceanHoptimism
The sea isn’t only science & saltwater. It’s language, song, story, and survival. These poets remind us: listen to the ocean and you hear the future.

#PoetryCommunity #OceanVoices #OceanHoptimism
Poet-scholar Alice Te Punga Somerville writes of oceanic identity fractured by colonial borders. Her “Always Italicise” & “Once Were Pacific” center the sea as both connective tissue & contested space.
#MāoriPoetry #OceanVoices #PacificPoetry
Chamorro poet Craig Santos Perez’s “from unincorporated territory” series treats the Pacific as homeland & archive. His work layers maps, migration, colonial history, & ecological witness, an ocean-centered poetics of memory & resistance.

The sea speaks through them.
