More than the lifeblood of our natural world, Texas rivers have
nourished the human spirit for as long as people have gathered on
their banks. A living bond has flowed between Texas writers and
rivers ever since the 1960 publication of John Graves's classic
journey along the Brazos, Goodbye to a River.Many of Texas' leading
writers have had their hearts captured by a river, and they have
created sparkling accounts of the waterways they love. Now, editors
Steven L. Davis and Sam L. Pfiester have assembled the best of
those works into a revelatory collection of diverse literary
voices. Ranging from the desert canyonlands of the Rio Grande to
the swampy Big Thicket, from crystal clear Hill Country streams to
the Red River's treacherous quicksand, Viva Texas Rivers! showcases
many classic writings along with brand new essays written for this
volume. The literary nonfiction is complemented by flashes of
poetry that brilliantly reflect these curving ribbons of light.
Authoritative and expertly edited, Viva Texas Rivers! offers
shimmering accounts of hidden paradises, as well as searing exposEs
of abuse and despoliation. Yet even in the bleakest times, as these
writers have found, Texas rivers can bestow a sacred grace -and
unexpected redemption. Viva Texas Rivers! brings you as close to
the living nirvana of a Texas River as you can get without
launching yourself into a canoe and following a great blue heron as
it glides just above the breaking rapids, leading you around the
bend as the river flows onward toward the best places in our
hearts.
