The poems in The Tide Book are a lyrical record of living beside the Pacific Ocean while caretaking for an aging father. Poet, Vivian Faith Prescott, lives on a small island in Southeast Alaska tucked into the Alexander Archipelago in Tlingit AanÃ. She's living at her fishcamp in Wrangell, Kaachxaana.áak'w, when the Covid-19 pandemic hits, and shortly thereafter, her father is diagnosed with a rare bladder cancer. As the ocean becomes a persona, a way through which to see her world, the relationship with her father and the ocean deepens. The daily rhythm of tidal life becomes what sustains her through the waves of life's hardships.
