TOUR THE TOUGH TERRITORY OF BARS AND COURTROOMS, THE ANGST AND GLORY OF SEX AND ROMANCE.
Brenda Niskala’s How to Be a River is an intimate tour through the tough territory of bars and courtrooms, the angst and glory of sex, and, yes, of romance. Niskala’s poetry celebrates wise and accepting love for family, for flawed yet wondrous people, and, with a detour across the Atlantic, for this place of grass. Powerful and vivid, How To Be A River evokes the currents, the riptides and the flow of life.
