The original inspiration for this book was Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, which I first encountered through my high school theater program. What was your initial inspiration for The Last True Poets of the Sea? It’s family story, a love story, and an adventure story all centered around the hunt for a long lost shipwreck - and it’s full of fish puns. If you were to describe The Last True Poets of the Sea in one sentence, what would it be? Hello and thank you so much for having me, and for having written such beautiful things about TLTPotS! About me: I’m a writer living in Philadelphia, and I have a rabbit named Ned who’s currently flopped beside me. ![]() ![]() Hi Julia, thanks so much for joining me! Can you tell us a little about yourself? Julia Drake, the author of the absolutely wonderful The Last True Poets of the Sea, was kind enough to answer a few questions about her, her book and writing! I read The Last True Poets of the Sea as the April book with my Sapphic Book Club, and we all shared our thoughts here if you want to check it out! I absolutely adored this book with all of my heart and would really recommend you check it out! Sasha ❤ ![]()
