It discusses collaborative work with a poet, emphasizing non-traditional storytelling methods and the importance of discomfort in historical research. The chapter also highlights the challenges of archival research during a pandemic, the significance of engaging with physical artifacts, and the serendipitous discovery of a grave in Hawaii linked to the author's study of a 19th-century ship.
