Chatty borders, best-of small boats, smuggler interviews, and a Lonely Planet guide to Europe’s most fortified edges — a cartography of bodies, blame, and broken borders.

Blending prose, poetics, and essay, ¼ of Sea charts the wreckage of migration politics, surveillance aesthetics, and militarised masculinity. Through meditations, monologues, and speculative fragments, it centres on the “military-age male” — a shape-shifting symbol of fear, control, and desire.

A letter to nobody. A document from the sea. A poem for the military-aged.
