Water Ways

Water Ways

Join William O’Daly and JS Graustein on their poetic explorations of New Hampshire’s waterways. O’Daly’s work as a Research Writer at the California Department of Water Resources during the state’s multi-year drought and Graustein’s training as an Aquatic Ecologist lend unique perspectives to the beauty of the Granite State’s “blue spaces.” From the Connecticut Lakes to the Seacoast, Otter Brook to the Salmon Falls River, and the circumnavigation of Lake Winnipesaukee, the poems, essays, and photographs in this book celebrate New Hampshire’s gateways to “the most serene surface, the silence / of what we no longer remember: who we are, / to whom the loon calls across the emptiness.”

“Serious, funny, insightful, and yes, an abiding joy.”
— Sam Hamill, author of Habitation: Collected Poems (Lost Horse Press, 2014) and Founding Editor of Copper Canyon Press
