Description
A lingering, long-haul collection of writing about sailing for readers of Julietta Singh and Kyo Maclear.
In Relative to Wind, Phoebe Wang delivers a poetic rendering of her decade-long journey of learning to sail and a deep dive into what it means to be a newcomer to an old tradition. From working alongside crewmates in tempestuous conditions to becoming an avid racer and organiser to drafting a wistful love letter to a Wayfarer dinghy while examining the loose tether between sailing and a creative life, Wang delivers a book for sailors and would-be sailors that is thoughtful and surprising at every tack.
A thoughtful, illuminating look at life away from land. Kirkus
