The Music of Her Rivers pays homage to the rivers that taught the
poet--the Rio Grande and the Chicago and Illinois Rivers.
Sharp-eyed and empathetic, Golden serves as a witness, documenting
place, history, and people, especially those left voiceless due to
violence or discrimination--from the refugee border crossers of the
Rio Grande to the Irish immigrants and former slaves struggling to
build lives in Chicago in the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries. Each poem captures the enduring challenges of Native
peoples, laborers, naturalists, and immigrants through its haunting
and consuming verse. Throughout the collection the nuanced
representation of the landscape allows the rivers to become
witnesses and actors themselves.
