Very Like a Whale by Kaitlyn A. Kramer

“There is personality in accepting the pull of the oceanic feeling and the
interconnectedness of one’s being to the external world, all the while
noting that the experience can be tiresome. In spite of our throes, the
contact keeps us awake and living. This is where desire begins.”

The majority of Earth’s surface is comprised of a vast, amorphous body of
water, but Kaitlyn A. Kramer’s personal relationship to the ocean remains
contained — in a place kept close to heart. Meandering through a series of
observations on film, literature, and art relating to the deep abyss, Kramer
is a lifeline as she navigates life’s anxieties and questions, revealing that
most of her answers still find her lost at sea.
