Susan Schmidt gets inspiration from lowlands and water bodies; even the four sections of this volume of poetry have water-related names. Schmidt’s rooted vision plays out over the pages of this book as memories and commentary on the present-day run together, just as the section called “Estuary” runs into the one called “Open Ocean.” Schmidt’s verse rocks the reader on the waves of both her memories and the stories she tells through her poems.
