Placing her paddle in primordial pools and still waters connecting to the past, she reminds us of where we have come from, of the Great Spirit and people that came before us. Patricia's poems reflect on the impacts that humans have had in altering this landscape (\"damn dams\" and plastic pollution), that are not unlike the \"echoing rings\" that radiate outward from her paddle. The author takes the reader along on a kayak trip on beautiful Turtle Flambeau Flowage, surveying the natural wonders and beauty of northern Wisconsin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheryl Nenn is an ecologist for Milwaukee Riverkeepers, 17 years advocating for the protection of water quality and wildlife habitat in Southeast Wisconsin.
