Out nowBlack Fish: The Book
What if the wata is listening?
Black Fish is a book about fishing. It's also about what the wata holds.
Speech Debelle didn't pick up a rod until she was 33. What she found on the UK shoreline wasn't a hobby but a relationship: with the tide, with her own body, and with the wata itself, a presence she began to suspect might be aware of her too.
Part practical guide, part memoir, part conversation with seasoned anglers, Black Fish follows how our peoples have moved across water, fished it, survived it, and been pushed away from it. It asks what it means to return. To say all rivers, lakes and seas belong to me. To heal at the wata's edge, and to build community there.
And it will teach you to fish: kit, knots, casting, tides, weather, safety, and what to do when you finally get a bite.
