Riverwise, a volume of slow river prose centred around AfonTeifi, is a book of wanderings and wonderings, witnessings andenchantments, rememberings and endings. Weaving memoir,poetry and keen observation into its meandering course, it shiftsacross time and space to reflect the beauty of hidden, fluvialplaces, and to meditate on the strangeness of being human. Above all, though, this book stands as a hymn to those fragmentsof riparian wilderness which on our maps appear as ever-shrinking horns of green amid a white, gridded landscape ofhuman dominance. Riverwise is a clarion call to learn to love andprotect the natural world and its waterways.
