‘Whose bodies are blanketed? Whose bodies blanked out?’ asks Naomi Foyle’s searching fourth collection, Salt & Snow. Lamenting personal and collective loss, this triptych of elegies contains tributes to departed family members, friends and writers including John Berger, Judith Kazantzis, Niall McDevitt and Gwendolyn Leick; and pays homage to victims of political violence from George Floyd to civilians caught up or killed in the full scale invasion of Ukraine, the Hamas war crimes of Oct 7th and Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Concluding with a mythopoetic sonnet crown circling themes of eco-apocalypse and regeneration, Salt & Snow is a finely interwoven meditation on grief, witness, whiteness and climate crisis.
