About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
In the aftermath of loss, a mother and her young son cross the ocean to a remote strip of land on the North Atlantic. Viewed from the edge, where land meets sea, coastlines become sites of constraint as well as of flux and change. Through art, philosophy, poetry, geology and Minecraft, Coutts starts to imagine new ways of being and a new existence for her small family.
With the precision and clarity of the camera, Coutts combines the real with the fictional, interweaving folk song, maps and island lore to present a devastating and fierce reflection on intimacy and separation, parenthood, photography and the fragility and strangeness of our environment. What Did the Deep Sea Say? is a stunning meditation on how the physical world can bring us back to earth from the edge of grief.
