Sinopse
Características

As a child, Gary Lark camped where a creek joins Oregons North Umpqua River, sleeping in the rivers voice. Confessing that theres a part of me still there / surrounded by enormous trees / the river singing me alive, he offers us Daybreak on the Water, his song-cycle paying homage to the Umpqua. Here, the communion among river and poet and reader is palpable: at the fishermans table, the platter is passed from hand to hand, / each tongue tasting the river / in the salmons flesh. This fishermans river-poems carry what the Umpqua carries, the wonderment of living things. -Paulann Petersen, Oregon Poet Laureate EmeritaDaybreak on the Water is a vivid and authentic reminiscence of a rugged, playful, deliberate and reflective life among the wild woods and waterways of Oregons Umpqua valley. Larks warmly told and deftly detailed narratives provide a natural and cultural history that will entertain and edify generations of readers. We meet many colorful characters-loggers, anglers, clammers, boatbuilders, poachers, sheriffs, sweethearts and old friends- that allow us to press ourselves into the tides of each other / releasing our unutterable selves. -Henry Hughes, Oregon Book Award-winning poet and author of Back Seat with Fish
