Sea Church Overview

"Sea Church," a devotional poem by American poet and essayist Aimee Nezhukumatathil, examines the relationships between identity, nature, the writing process, and cultural mythology. It originally appeared in a 2017 issue of Poetry magazine before being included in Nezhukumatathil's 2018 collection Oceanic. In "Sea Church," the speaker contemplates both personal and universal details in a reverential process of understanding the world and her place in it.
