Fear of the Deep

The first book-length collaboration between author Elisabeth Sharp McKetta and artist Troy Passey, Fear of the Deep joins the atmospheric artwork of Passey with thirty poetic fragments by McKetta, resulting in a book on the theme of the ocean and how words become lifeboats. Fear of the Deep is a call to live with courage and beauty in the face of mortality, and for that reason we will donate 10% of proceeds to Suicide Prevention Action Network of Idaho.
