In a heartfelt and powerful introduction, Rebecca Solnit calls this collection both elegy (inspired by the death of his sixteen-year-old niece) and “loose memoir” (filled with language that leaps intuitively across subjects, recalling various experiences, place, and memories). Beautifully adrift in the long poem sequence seated at the heart of this book, \u003cem\u003eThe Theory and Practice of Rivers \u003c\/em\u003eis filled with “moving water, the search for consolation and meaning in the sublime rightness of wild landscape” (\u003cem\u003eOutside\u003c\/em\u003e).
