ChangingTides Format: TradePaperback

Pact Press brings you Changing Tides, the fourth anthology in a series designed to spark conversation, promote awareness, and generate funds to advance social and environmental justice and amplify the voices of the marginalized. The poems, essays, and personal reflections in Changing Tides detail moving accounts of the human impact on our ocean environment and demonstrate the heightened need for individual, community, and global action in addressing what has become a collective crisis for life on this blue planet.
