Writer in a Life Vest

<p class=ql-align-justify>After nearly thirty years living in the Salish Sea's San Juan Archipelago Iris Graville felt compelled to write about the threats to its interwoven lattice of beauty wildness fragility and relationship. In 2018-19 Graville served as the Washington State Ferries' first Writer-in-Residence on the Interisland route traveling only among Lopez Shaw San Juan and Orcas Islands. As a result this storytelling lover of the Salish Sea presents <em>Writer in a Life Vest</em> thirty-six essays that explore climate change and endangered Southern Resident killer whales while leading readers to ask questions and find resilience inspiration and hope.</p><p><br></p>
