Book Synopsis
This little volume is a river dweller's homage to forty years inspired by the spirit of Susquehanna, a return gift of storytelling, poetry, and color images. Eight essays to turn us on our heads so all the stuff in our pockets--state lines, dams, power plants, mines, the lint of classification--all drop out and we see Susquehanna for who she is, nothing but an unbound goddess. We think we have restored her to a place of honor. She is the one always at work touching us deeply and restoring Our honor.
From a lofty bridge in a moment long ago I caught a glimpse of a wide river meeting a great bay, and the unknown river country slept in my imagination till good fortune brought me there to live, leaf in the current.
