I first started writing phrases, lines, and imagery that made it into the final version of this poem in July 2024 while on the beach with family in Hilton Head Island, SC. It's one of my favorite places, and I've been traveling there with family there ever since I was 3 years old. When the publishers for the Women in Conservation issue accepted my poem, they asked me for some photographs for them to use as a banner for the posting. Both the dunes and the surf photographs on my poem's page were taken by me in HHI last year. I'm glad I had some photos of the shore from when I was writing this poem, and that they worked for the posting!
