The poems explore love and attraction, excitement and disappointment, responding to the city both as homeplace and site of ongoing discoveries and negotiations.Throughout, there is a lightness of touch and a precision that reminds us of the poet's abiding interest in science and nature, the fruits of which further extend the range of this memorable debut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The trajectory of cultures crossing and intersecting is striking in this fresh and powerful collection of poems. The voice is electric, its sense of urgency hammered to a gleam of language and rhythm both arresting and moving. Chandrika Narayanan-Mohan offers her readers an existential watermark, one that urges us to consider prayer, prophecy, power and womanhood and how fidelity to a city and new country forms part of an exciting treasury of language, emotion, and the self.\" -Mary O'Donnell\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"From Border Control to Bus�ras, Annaghmakerrig to Armagh, The Salt of Something New is a moving mosaic of home.
