Riverwise: Meditations on Afon Teifi Smylie Wild Jack
"The ale-brown, ankle-deep water, riffling in the shadows of alder, ash and willow, is surprisingly cool. I strain my eyes until the bubbles disappear, and wade on." Riverwise, a volume of slow river prose centred around Afon Teifi, is a book of wanderings and wonderings, witnessings and enchantments, rememberings and endings. As I feel my way across the shallows with my toes, I spy an up-bubbling in a deeper stretch ... an otter.
Along the way, hosts of things glimmer on the water and resurface from the depths: characters, creatures, plants, ruins, roots, and words, all bound and etched together in the liquid slate of Teifi's ceaseless becoming. Weaving memoir, poetry, and keen observation into its meandering course, it shifts across time and space to reflect the beauty of hidden, fluvial places, and to meditate on the strangeness of being human.
