River Running
Autor Loch Baillieen Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 mar 2026
Raw and confessional, River Running dives gracefully into the intangible concept of home, be it person or place. “No more metaphors tonight,” writes Baillie, “I come to tell you nothing / but the truth.” This collection probes at memory and love, identity and grief, with achingly gentle hands, sifting through the fragments one both leaves behind and becomes.

Recenzii
It’s an exceptionally rare thing to be wooed — “These words, cornsilk falling between us, / as I undo myself like a forest of ginkgos.” — to awaken next to your lover, as you touch your forehead still sensing where his was against yours, dancing, “Se tourner vers l’autre pour lui dire.” Words so real I reach beside me for your hand, only to knock Loch Baillie’s towering debut, River Running, off the bed. “I think we’re lost / I think you got us here” (we giggle). “Grass, green. Sky, blue. Our joy was joy — that’s all.” A keepsake.
Atmospheric and probing, Loch Baillie’s River Running lends fresh insight into the intricacies of intimacy and isolation. An accomplished debut.
Multilingual readers will recognize the physicality of language so eloquently expressed by Loch Baillie in River Running. Here, words become mosquitoes floating in the summer dusk, wildflowers picked to ask forgiveness. These poems are technically skilled yet intimate, structured yet ephemeral — like houses made of light.
From the intimacy of extended direct address to the yearning of “Blowjob Bildungsroman” and the ache of homesickness, River Running flirts with tradition while forging its own ground. Loch Baillie offers playful takes on coming-of-age, filtered through a sharp and perceptive mind.
