Green Cascade at Bakehouse Community Arts, Galloway, Scotland

Bakehouse Community Arts Studio window double feature: Skookum Jim and the Klondike Gold Rush, Artistic Director Chrys Salt‘s latest book of poetry, plus my Green Cascade mobile.

Bakehouse Community Arts venue in Dumfries and Galloway offers regular events in a warm and welcoming gallery and performance space at The Bakehouse in Gatehouse of Fleet.

Chrys Salt has written eight poetry collections, been translated into several languages, performed across Europe, North America, India and Australia, and her poems have inspired artists, musicians and film-makers to create collaborative pieces.

Of Skookum Jim, Chrys says: “This collection is a gift to the First Nation peoples of Yukon, many of whom still strive to regain the way of life they lost. Whatever poems I have made of their stories, or fashioned from my own research and experience of being there, in the spirit of just exchange I give them back.”
