Bog beskrivelse

In her unflinching and tenderly obsessive collection, Sculling, poet Sophie Dumont explores a deeply personal relationship to the River Avon, as she circles the curses that unravel from a canoe club.

At the age of 16, Sophie Dumont trained to be a canoe coach before her own coach and partner of three years died suddenly in an aquaplaning road accident, which led to five of his organs continuing at least seven people''s lives. His heart was donated to a young man studying in the same city as he did.

Using the kayak as a vessel to traverse life''s accumulation of losses, Sculling speaks of how this bereavement caused Dumont to reflect on her relationship to bodies of water, from her own body to the state of pollution in UK rivers. Here, she explores the campaign for rivers to be given personhood status for rights to protection and inspects the symbiosis of her body and the river''s.

Sculling is a powerful investigation into categories of haunting, from a body living on through donated organs, through dementia''s slow erasure, and through witnessing her niece learn object permanence - that things continue to exist when they are not visible.

In this fiercely vulnerable and meticulous debut, Dumont probes the urge to call out when under a bridge, to hear oneself ricocheted back, changed:

''. . . a boy in a red cap opens his throat, throws sound
into shadows, as we''ve all done,
in the reckless hope of its return.''
