River Poems
In this collection, British poets from Shakespeare and Wordsworth to Ted Hughes and Alice Oswald mingle with American voices ranging from verses by the indigenous Klallam people and the African-American spirituals "Deep River" and "Roll, Jordan, Roll" to such recent poets as Gary Snyder, Mary Oliver, and Natasha Tretheway. Walt Whitman's iconic "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry," Emily Dickinson's tersely erotic "My River runs to thee," and Langston Hughes' sonorous "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" run alongside poems from ancient Babylon and Egypt. Contributions from India, Nepal, Japan, China, Thailand, France, Germany, Russia, Serbia, Chile, Mexico, the Congo, and Nigeria round out this celebration of the rivers of the world.
