Weaving stories of migration, colonisation, and diaspora, Lou Smith’s poetry collection riversalt follows her family’s patterns of migrations from North Wales, England, and Jamaica, to her hometown of Newcastle, Australia. Inspired by all manner of things including literature, science, personal stories, folklore, and artworks, we journey through these locations on foot, by car, boat and by plane. The poems in riversalt are both personal and historical, contemplating notions of memory, ‘home’, and belonging, in a meditation on the meaning of ‘place’.
“Lou Smith’s riversalt is a thoughtfully intense, and an intensely thoughtful, collection of work … [it] is truly a work of postcolonial literature, in its attention to the forces which have scattered (and continue to scatter) history’s human actors across the earth.” – Anwen Crawford
