The Coast of Nowhere: Meditations on Rivers, Lakes, and Streams by Michael Delp

fallona's review

5.0

Part poetry, part prose, entirely a love letter to rivers (mostly the Au Sable), fly fishing, water, and memory. It's an enchanting little book, musing on death and time and the repeated image of becoming one with the fish and the water itself--and yet it truly isn't sad, merely meditatively beautiful.

I didn't expect to like it as much as I did--never would have expected to be so taken with a book so bound up in fly fishing, a pastime I've never so much as tried--and yet it had me from the first page.
