The poems in Maling's third collection, Fish Song, explore the effects of climate change in the Western Australian coastal sites of Cervantes and Grey.
Maling's new work is rich and diverse, exploring physical landscapes as well as historical and socio-cultural aspects of place. In her latest, deeply personal, collection Maling travels the coast of Western Australia writing about what the ocean provides - fish, livelihoods, sand and the ever-present sea breeze. In doing so she questions what poetry might offer by way of solace and reconnection in an age of climate change.
