Description
Riverwise is a meditative exploration of the Afon Teifi river and its surroundings. The author's slow and contemplative journey along the water's edge reveals a world of wonder, witness to the beauty of hidden places and the strangeness of being human.
Through memoir, poetry, and keen observation, the book weaves together a narrative that shifts across time and space, reflecting on the importance of preserving riparian wilderness in a world dominated by human activity. Along the way, various elements resurface from the depths, bound together in the ever-changing landscape of Teifi's river.
This book stands as a call to learn to love and protect the natural world and its waterways, inviting readers to slow down and appreciate the beauty that can be found in these often-overlooked places.
