Tidal Locks is a salty, playfully anachronistic glimpse into the private diaries of an irreverent contemplative and amiable recluse. An illustrated blend of fiction and confession, Marin’s poetry remixes the hallucinatory symbolism of folklore, natural history, occultism, and dream to explore the deep surrealism, haunted beauty, queer urgency, and mundane heartaches of waking life in a decaying world. 
 
Tidal Locks blends melancholic brinewifery with gleeful, modern hipster trash in an attic’s stash of verse, written in secret over the course of fourteen years, published for the apocalypse.
 
We built this gate and kept it locked.
We tethered up and linked the knots
Until our knuckles polished down to bone.
We named the battened outfit Reassurance,
And we rested reassured we were alone . . .
 
This EPUB download is fixed format. You can still zoom in and out, but the formatting on the pages is static. This collection is heavily illustrated and the paragraph and page breaks are meaningful, so I strongly recommend the fixed format EPUB. The image quality is larger and better here. Reflowable ebook downloads are available however, on Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DLLN53BN 
 
The paperback is available here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DLNZ4BB5
