From Here to the Ocean

<p>From Here to the Ocean is a collection of poems that traverse landscapes weaving between the lines of mixed-race and queer identity from the streets of San Francisco to the realms of diasporic motherlands. Lucie Pereira a poetry reader for Split Lip Magazine and winner of the Ó Bhéal Five Words International Poetry Competition speaks to the search for love belonging and self-discovery that threads through young adulthood. The journey never strays too far from the water encapsulating the expansive and transcendent presence of the sea.</p>
