The Materials gathers together poems and images created by Lyndon Davies for The Canalchemy Project, a collaborative enterprise initiated by Steven Hitchins, which involved walking sections of the Merthyr to Cardiff canal, with a varying group of poets and artists, performing actions and readings along the way.
‘The canal is many things, made of many voices, an infinite ribbon of infinitely divisible experiences, trampled over, blotted out, overlaid and then recalled, not as itself, canal, but as a series of partially organised remnants, whether natural or man-made. The damage remains, the poison remains, but everything has changed because of the damage. What the damage left us when it became history: something to look at through a pane of glass; somewhere to take a quiet stroll at evening.’
