Publisher's Description
Rivers are not only about themselves and the way they curve and cut across landscapes and time, but about an overall geology of the soul that goes on in each life--all life. Carrying things into our lives and away from our lives is just one of the mysteries of rivers and the tributaries that build them. These poems of life and living in the precincts of the Delaware River and her tributaries underscore the relationship that we have with the wetness, power, passion, shape, and presence of waters in our lives. Take a dip and be changed. Open yourself to their wonder.

“A powerful journey of inspiration, love, care, and connection with the living waters of our communities—encouraging us to reflect on how we care for them and inspiring us to rise up against the harms and challenges they face from human interaction. Thomas’s poems are challenging, uplifting, and heartwarming, and remind us that our streams and rivers are part of our community, to be respected and cared for.”
“In River Bending, we are beckoned to join a journey of pools, currents, rapids, and switchbacks—an adventure in language worthy of the closest read and the joyous noise Johnson-Medland makes.”
