Evelyn | 1 comments * Title: On My Way to Get a Pail of Water
* Author(s) name(s): Fred Wah
* ISBN (or ASIN): 978-1-928172-30-7
* Publisher: Arbutus Editions
* Publication Date Year: 2020
* Page count: 48
* Format (such as paperback, hardcover, ebook, audiobook, etc): Paperback
* Description: Wah’s lecture explores the ways in which water has operated as a basic unit of composition in my writing and as a primary element in poetic processing. Water is such a natural and available reflection of its own meaning— particularly its improvisational possibilities—that it can function as a palimpsest for language. The book explores the Columbia River as it is wrestled to the page in Beholden: a poem as long as a river, a co-authored book and art installation with Rita Wong that engages the confounding dynamics of border, nation, and treaty, the socio-political dimensions of place and names, colonization, dams, and salmon. His presentation is a statement on geopoetics and the creative undercurrent that surfaces in our liminal encounters with the landscape of creeks, ponds, lakes, and oceans.

Thank you!

Hi, we appreciate your patience as we work through the tremendous backlog. We need a webpage showing the ISBN/ASIN and other book data to validate the info and if available we need it for the cover image. It should be non-bookseller site (Amazon & AbeBooks excepted), so from the publisher, library or another acceptable site: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/..., if you have the book, we can use a scan/photo of your copy for the cover and the page with the publication information (you can upload a scan/photo of your own to the "more photos..." section of your profile (https://www.goodreads.com/photo/new) in the browser, not the app), then copy the link here and a librarian can add it. Make sure you state the source of the photo in the text and that your account settings are public (not private).
