As the River Tumbles On

By Chip Dameron

In this luminous collection, Chip Dameron follows the currents of rivers that have shaped landscapes, histories, and human lives across the world. Drawing on his years beside the Rio Grande in deep South Texas, he meditates on the paradox of borders-how they can both divide and bind us together. Through resonant imagery and finely wrought language, Dameron reveals rivers as living archives, carrying memories of place, ecology, conflict, and belonging. These poems invite readers to listen to the voices flowing beneath the surface and to discover the enduring connections that water forges across time and culture.
