OM DENNE EPISODE
The Ridge is a poem in 20 parts, a meditation on a geological feature of Quadra Island, a large island in British Columbia, just north of the Strait of Georgia, and thus the Salish Sea.

I would add that it's a meditation on the human species as well, at this time in the early Anthropocene.
