In ‘Hafren: The Wisdom of the River Severn’, author Sarah Siân Chave visits a waterfall along the route of the #river to experience its intensity.

What a beautiful waterfall near Hafren’s source! In Celtic traditions, sources of water provide wisdom and streams and rivers are a way that such wisdom is spread and communicated. Waterfalls are places where wisdom is intensified. But we have to pause, listen to what rivers are communicating, and, as the poet Mary Oliver argues, ‘unstuff our ears of selfhood’.

In this extraordinary memoir, Gwyneth Lewis recounts her toxic upbringing at the hands of her controlling, coercive mother. 'Nightshade Mother' is a book about the power of art, language and, ultimately, about homecoming after a lifetime of exile from herself.
