Flow Summary

Flow: The Life and Times of Philadelphia's Schuylkill River by Beth Kephart

Unfortunately we do not have a summary for this item at the moment

Flow Reviews

Kephart gives the Schuylkill a voice, a memory, a melancholic sensibility. She has given us a finely-tuned and moving work of art, an exquisite book of loss and wanting. In 76 narrative poems and nearly as many short historical essays, Kephart returns the 'hidden river' to its place in our hearts.
