Book Synopsis

In the Wake-like river water mingles silt, fish, and stone-blends narratives of loss, memory, and environment into one. It rages, whispers, and stills as it flows in and out of prose poetry and lyric. It is a hybrid work that centers the Willamette river-or memory of the Willamette river-as its characters once centered it in their lives, examining the nature of friendship, time, grief, love, and to a certain extent, obsession...and how, ultimately, all of these things dissolve.
