‘Early on, this collection leads you into finding in one river every river you’d ever touched. These poems run as gently as water, and as relentlessly. They cut with the grace and ease of a ship’s keel or sickle blade. Roshni Gallagher has pondered much in her heart: memory; bereavement; nature and nurture in Scotland, Ireland, and Guyana. Astonishingly both light and deep, centred and moving, these are fine lyrics of being-in-place while being-in-between.’
– Anthony (Vahni) Capildeo

‘I’m in awe of how Roshni balances nature and self in beautiful, deliberate lyricism, with deep tenderness and truth. Roshni captures the beauty of the world and holds it within her poetry, so much so that as I read I feel as if the moon itself is at my fingertips. Her talent is extraordinary – here is a poet set to change the literary landscape forever.’ – Nadine Aisha Jassat
