Amphibians invites further contemplation of female physicality—what it means to reside in a female form. An amphibious aircraft crashes in Maine, a young girl skinny-dips with her elders, a distraught cruise ship dancer boards a water taxi in Grenada, and travelers to Dubai and Abu Dhabi long for familiar oceans; back in New England, small-town artists try to smudge out their tedium with seaside transgressions. Amphibians celebrates home in a cross-cultural way, and the sensation of feeling not quite right in one’s own skin, on land and near water, at home and abroad. com • Author's 2020 novel, Off Island, was blurbed by Antonya Nelson, Jeremy Gavron, and Peter Turchi Table of Contents Amphibians 4 Dishdash 42 The Mission Bell 70 Glass 81 Belly Dancing 96 Ting 115 Spoils 124 Freizeit 134 Fishing 154 Before and After Florence 166 Good Neighbors 172
