History Heritage & Cultural Traditions

At the Fishhouses is among our favorite poems, and is a clear winner for the season. We hope it is for you, too, whether you are revisiting a reading or are hearing it for the first time. It speaks to all of us that dwell at the water's edge, in a physical space or merely in the mind.

Cold dark deep and absolutely clear,
element bearable to no mortal,
to fish and to seals . . .

Happy New Year from World Ocean Radio and World Ocean Observatory.
