Booklovers’ Cafe – Tele Aadsen, What Water Holds

(Airdate: May 7, 2024) Booklovers’ Cafe host Cris Wilson is joined by Fisher Poet, author, and salmon troller Tele Aadsen to talk about her memoir, What Water Holds, a sea-to-plate story told with love. This is a book full of stories of a life spent fishing the waters around Sitka, and a lyric celebration of the marine environment. Tele is a handtroller on the boat Nerka that she shares with her partner Joel. The collection of stories will appeal not only to people on the water but naturalists, environmentalists and all who think deeply about our world and our place as stewards of the wild. This book was chosen by the Anchorage Daily news as one of the top books of 2023.
