"He sends his books down the river,
one by one they slip away, each word turning wild."
--Micheal Delp, The Mad Angler
Late winter the Watershed Center hosted Micheal Delp as a featured poet. He is an instructor at the Interlochen Center for the Arts and though I don't know him well, I know his rivers and fish and can feel much of this energy of admiration for the rushing waters--the fluidity of spirit-- inherent in the rhythms of river life. What feels urgent and rushed, bears the urgency of only necessity and a baptism in the awakening of the dynamic flow of life.
