The Lives of the plovers: 2016 indies finalist

Contributing Author: Coming of Age at the End of Nature

Originally published by Yale’s Sage Magazine and later collected in Coming of Age at the End of Nature by Trinity University Press, The Lives of the Plovers burrows into Ellen Meloy’s idea of “deep place.” Situated on the fault line between bird-lovers and beach goers, Plovers takes a reverent crawl across the invisible battlefields that are Cape Cod’s outer beaches.
