Mallory Amirault's debut collection?Brine?is an ambitious land-metaphor; merging history and imagination, it's a work of poetry that doubles as a prose novel, an effort of interruption to long-standing Maritime coloniality. While excavating experiences of grief, violence, and shame?and unleashing those of love, joy, and belonging?the book's tide-like narrative and character-led intimacies do not avert from a violent and pervasive colonial thread.
