The Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, W.S. Merwin, says this about Dugong, Manatee, Sea Cow: “I have relished, returned to, and marveled at the very beautiful book…Everything about it is elegant, and the poem is very moving.” Copies of the poetry book were donated by Tsimmes Editions, New York, to raise funds for Save the Manatee Club’s conservation work. The descriptions of manatee hunts may not be appropriate for younger age groups or for the faint-hearted.
