  • More about Moon Jellyfish Can Barely Swim


Moon jellyfish are successful organisms that live a life adrift, relying on the current to take them where they need to go. Ness Owen's second collection explores what it is to subsist with whatever the tides bring, from family to politics, womanhood, and language.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 108 pages

Publisher: Parthian Books


The moon jellyfish, a remarkable creature, leads a life of independence, relying on the currents to guide them toward their destinations. These remarkable organisms have achieved incredible success and are considered one of the most successful forms of animal life on Earth. Despite their inability to swim gracefully, they manage to thrive in the vast open ocean. Rooted in her island home, Ness Owen delves into the essence of subsisting with whatever the tides bring in her captivating second collection of poems. These poems traverse a diverse range of topics, including family, politics, womanhood, and language. As the world around us continues to evolve and change, starlings fall from the sky, votes are cast, villages are submerged, petrified forests are uncovered, and messages wash up on the shoreline, patiently awaiting answers that may never come. Through her poetic lens, Owen captures the essence of resilience and adaptation, reminding us of the beauty and complexity of our natural world.
