"Our Long Float is a luminous meditation on what it means to live—and grieve—in relation to the living, the lost, and the land.

From the elephants of Botswana to the trout streams of Montana, Chapman moves through landscapes both physical and emotional, listening closely to what memory, silence, and connection reveal. Grounded in the spirit of ubuntu— am because you are—these poems honor presence and impermanence, weaving elegy, ecology, and love into a body of work that feels at once deeply intimate and profoundly expansive."—Hélène Cardona
