'This collaborative essay, which sits at the nexus of creative writing, nature writing and
animal studies, seeks to explore the question of how we might live ethically and joyfully
in the context of anthropogenic climate change. Engaging with the fields of creative
non-fiction, philosophy, memoir and literature review, the essay asks how we might
address this question together, as writers, thinkers, artists, and living beings alongside
many others, both human and more-than-human. The authors explore their relationship
with the ocean, animals and each other, combining walking and writing as part of the
same process. Here, walking serves as a pivotal immersive writing process as well as a
creative tool. Alongside sharing ways of thinking, the essay argues the importance of
acknowledging oneself as a writer situated in a particular place and time.'
