Leviathans in Poetry

One of my writer-friends, C.S. McCath, has a poem up in Strange Horizons. "Leviathans" is about oil spills and their effect on marine life.  Very sharp writing!

I have actually written a number of poems along related lines. "The Why of the Leviathan" appeared in Mytholog, connecting shipwrecks with the leviathan life cycle. "Overkill" has a similar tone of destruction as McCath's poem, but mentions several different cryptids. I think I've got another one or two in which sea monsters drag humans or ships down to their doom for spoiling the waters, but I'm not finding titles there at the moment.

Sharp as a shark's tooth, that.
