“Follow poet Hess on this riverine journey of thoughtful, nuanced poems. Hess’ unique voice can come across as almost matter-of-fact, yet there are depths to her poetry that belie this seemingly straightforward tone. Rocks and rapids lie just underneath the gentle current and surprises wait around the next bend.”
— Bent Paddle Press
“The themes of time and journey are woven together in complex ways that repay rereading. Though canoeing is its metaphor, essentially the book is about survival, affirmation, and love.”
