- Summary:
-
Whale-shocked is about whales, the shocking history of whaling, and our changing attitudes to it. Written as a long-form poem, Sue Aldred uses her own family history from the 1800s when her ancestor sailed on the killer boats, at a time when whales were seen only as a resource, there for the plunder, through to the current century where she and her family support whale conservationists, understanding whales as awesome intelligent creatures with much to teach us. -- Karen Throssell.
