In Canada’s national capital, on the traditional, unceded territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin People, the Gatineau River flows south through the valley to merge with the expansive waters of the Ottawa River. From the opposite direction the Rideau River flows north and tumbles into the Ottawa at the beautiful Rideau Falls pictured on this cover. Not far away, the lock system created by Lieutenant-Colonel John By connects the serene Rideau Canal with the fast-flowing river.In the same way the waterways of varied character and history merge and flow together in Ottawa, six members of the city’s Canadian Authors Association poetry circle come together in this collection of distinct poems that reflect the merging of nature, creatures, and Poetic voices flowing together.
