Publisher's Synopsis
Salt Water is a vital current, murky at times, often clear, which reveals the depths of earth and irrigates the human heart. It is a current, like blood, which has circulated through California, Austria, London, Beirut and elsewhere--so the journey of this wonderful collection is constructed--and it is fitting that it wends its way to Paris, where I am, that it soothes and eases my wounds, because Salt Water is a work of loss and restoration . . . a potent work on the melancholy of the world, and of countries traversed that are as much geographical as interior: childhood, fear, solitude, motherhood.
At its core, Salt Water is a river of love. At once turbulent and still. Indispensable for those who seek to navigate life.
-from the foreword by Grégoire Delacourt
