From the classic A River Runs Through It came the words "I am haunted by water." With his unique voice and imagery, K. Gordon Tidball recounts his own ghosts and glories through the medium of water and his complex relationship with its movement. He uses his varied and eclectic experiences with water as points of departure for wide-ranging ruminations on the larger questions that haunt him. The result is an honest, sometimes troubling composite portrait of human attempts to navigate the "sea," real or metaphorical. More than a meditation, this loosely thematic collection of poems, prose, art, and photography unabashedly engages the question of "How to be" without feigning answers.
