Description

Born in Nova Scotia, Mi'kma'ki, Mallory Amirault is an artist whose Acadian and Mi'kmaq heritage belongs to the Kespukwitk district of Yarmouth. 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. Subtly unfolding character-led intimacies, it acts as an interruption to long-standing Maritime coloniality. Amirault describes Brine as an aboiteau at the shoreline of a colonial event. Engaging the elemental and political act of arriving and departing, the story is a mechanism that slowly removes salt from the Maritimes, and points to say 'wound.'
