    Ten (+ 10) poets and scholars (including artistic partnerships) were invited to experiment with the question: how to breathe in and navigate through the climate crisis? We were particularly interested in coastal issues or “ecotones,” areas where at least two communities/environments overlap. The ocean and the coastline invite the “ebbing” of our thought and writing on the water’s edge, “deterritorializing” certain concepts, such as “disciplinary field,” which Steve Mentz, in his book Ocean (2020), proposes to replace with “currents.” Or, another notion that could be di_erently steered: the verse “line,” which can become a crest, a plane, a wave, with di_erent vibrations and resonances on the horizon, and a significant force in the poetry–life equation. It is urgent to approach this equation through more intersubjective and ecocentric ways of using language.
