Home Front/Front Line

Chrys Salt and saxophonist Richard Ingham

Poet Chrys Salt continues her 12 year collaboration with international saxophonist Richard Ingham with Home Front/Front Line, a dialogue in poetry, music and prose  that explores what it means to be a life-long pacifist and mother whose son is fighting in the Iraq war. Home Front/Front Line couldn’t be more relevant in the light of current conflicts in both Gaza and Ukraine.

... a  deeply unsettling way of making (us) look again at long-familiar events, as though the mother of Wilfred Owen or Edward Thomas had kept a verse diary during the first world war.  (The Morning Star)
