This thoughtful exploration invites readers to consider the natural world in a profoundly different way, asking whether rivers possess qualities we typically associate with living things. Through poetic observation and philosophical inquiry, the work examines how water moves, shapes landscapes, sustains ecosystems, and connects communities across time and space.
Drawing on natural history, environmental science, and lyrical prose, this meditation challenges our assumptions about what it means to be alive. It's a compelling read for anyone interested in our relationship with nature, the rights of rivers, and how we might better understand and protect the waterways that flow through our lives and landscapes.
