A river is a rift that joins what it divides, and so, logically, mythically, it's always a river that cuts this life off from every other. A river determines every layer of all the lives along its entire length-the industry, the agriculture, the cultural possibilities, the historical imperatives, the reigning aesthetics, and so much more that cannot be or simply never happens to be traced. This account of a river attempts to embrace them all.
