They Say

They Say is a dialogue with the world of untamed rivers, their creatures, and their power of redemption. In narratives about divorce, alcohol abuse, an unsolved murder, or the all too human and often laughable frustrations of fly fishing missteps, rivers wash over our human frailties and carry glimpses of light. Whether it's recounting a late-night call with a delusional brother, or kayaking into a Calusa warrior's encounter with Ponce de Leon in his (and our) quest for eternal youth, these poems find themselves standing in moving water, immersed in its wavering depths where flashes of meaning might lead either to wisdom or to a less spiritual connection with a lustful, greedy Brook Trout and bling-spangled fishing fly.
