'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.'

About Amplify Bookstore

An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.

Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.

We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.

I loved how inclusive this space was, there were dyslexia friendly books and a space for books about queer love, a bit of something for everyone.
