Filled with moving water and intuitive leaps, The Theory and Practice of Rivers is an elegy for Harrisons sixteen-year-old niece.
The Theory & Practice of Rivers by Jim Harrison returns to print as a celebratory, stand-alone volume in this new edition.
In her heartfelt and powerful introduction, Rebecca Solnit calls this collection both elegy (inspired by the death of Harrisons sixteen-year-old niece) and loose memoir (filled with thoughts that leap intuitively across subjects, recalling myriad experiences, places, and encounters).
We see the past made real as images of a handwritten draft of the title poem invoke Harrison on the page. As Outside magazine puts it, The Theory & Practice of Rivers is filled with moving water, the search for consolation and meaning in the sublime rightness of wild landscape. Anchored by a long poem sequence seated at its heart, this contemporary classic speaks to the rivers and cascades in all of us, the motion by which our lives are determined.
