by Benjamin Morris (Author)
Drifting along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, The Singing River asks what can be saved in a place of shifting landscapes and ancient memory. Benjamin Morris' debut collection meditates on the forces of nature that shape our notions of family and identity. Formally diverse and elegantly crafted, these poems bear witness to a region where the soil often finds blood and water mixed, tinged with hope that some of us may still emerge cleansed after going under.
