That Salt on the Tongue to Say Mangrove

Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
That Salt on the Tongue to Say Mangrove is a poignant collection of poems that engage deeply with the landscape of mangrove forests. These unique trees grow on shifting coastal grounds, their tangled roots symbolising the spaces between land and water. Through lyrical verse, the authors explore liminal moments and connections—between a foot and the floor, coffee and its dish, and the intimate gestures of lives entwined. The poetry inhabits the tides of language, reflecting on what is spoken and what remains unspoken.

That Salt on the Tongue to Say Mangrove presents poems that engage with the landscape of mangrove forests.

Mangrove forests grow on coastlines, with root systems that hold them upright in the unstable grounds where land and water meet. That Salt on the Tongue to Say Mangrove draws on the in-between nature of these trees to explore spaces between—between a foot and the floor, a cup of coffee and its dish, a face and the shoulder of a couple on a motorbike.

These are poems that dwell in the tidal movement between saying and what’s left unsaid.
