As Shaughnessy conjures our potential future, she movingly (and often with humor) envisions an age where cephalopods might rule over humankind, a fate she suggests we may just deserve after destroying their oceans. These heartbreaking, terrified poems are the battle cry of a woman who is fighting for the survival of the world she loves, and a stirring exhibition of who we are as a civilization.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51929641091360,"sku":"NEW0525655654","price":55.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-octopus-museum-poems-0525655654","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
