<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>"These poems are the waves emanating from the gravitational fall of my runs by the Eno river," writes James Applewhite, "and other travels, into a self I could not otherwise know. They are my repetitive song of belief in the possibility of presence in language." <p/>From "Observing the Sun" <p/>On a bank overlooking the Eno, <br>I feel us as lightly aligned<br>As heads of the Queen Anne's lace, <br>Their congregation of angles.<br>Red sun, dilated, has us all<br>In its sights.<br>Against its horizon, <br>I spread my arms like a road sign<br>To mark earth where we are. <p/>Originally published in 1988. <p/>The <b>Princeton Legacy Library</b> uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

In this setting, nature becomes a text, a language of past, present and future. Applewhite reads that text for us with enormous empathy and by ideal light."<b>--Lisel Mueller</b></p><p>"James Applewhite's <i>River Writing: An Eno Journal</i> seems to me one of the few authentic and strong American poetic sequences of his generation. Applewhite has found his true subject as a poet, and has developed a stance and style wholly adequate to the philosophical and spiritual reach of his poignant concerns."<b>--Harold Bloom</b></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<i>River Writing</i> is an extraordinary journal of a poet's intimate encounter with a landscape in which the self can temporarily abandon itself.
