'Bathypelagia is a wonder of animacy and transformation. Cannily constructed in three zones, this book criss-crosses between the still-barely known zones of our oceans, resemblances of domestic life

particularly of motherhood

and the deepest domains of myth and sea creatures. These poems weave together motifs across pages, making connections

aquatic, airy, subterranean

that astonish.'

Kate Middleton

'Bathypelagia is a powerful, memorable collection whose poems fluoresce with an otherworldly light, drawing us in. Debbie Lim's vivid, richly imagistic poems find illumination in the ocean's claustrophobic midnight zone, paying close and artful attention to the creatures inhabiting a region largely untouched by humans.'
