River Hymnal

River Hymnal offers rivers as connective tissue binding Louisiana, Washington, and Florida together. Poems are set in all these locales, and their landscapes shape and contain different permeations of the poets life and sensibilities. The books themes of discovery and loss, progress and regress, future and past, are all rivers that the poems alchemize into a confluence of water that currents the poet continually around the next bend in his life and memory.
