Mississippi Meanderings - Paperback

by Barb Geiger (Author)

If you've ever been drawn in by the magnetism of a river's flow or wondered what it would be like to paddle down the Mighty Mississippi, you'll find something to love in this collection of poems by Barb Geiger. Mississippi Meanderings displays the beauty and intrigue of America's most iconic river system, through lyrical snapshots of the river's many moods, moments in its rich history, and the inhabitants and travelers of its waters and shores. Winner of Local Gems' 2021 NaPoWriMo Chapbook Contest, Geiger shares her unique insight, gained through personal experience, and her often humorous perspective from the seat of the tandem kayak she built and paddled with her husband, Gene. You'll be awed by river wildlife and sand island sunsets, fascinated by mammoth barges and pearl button factories, and entertained with poems of mishap and moonshine. Photos accompanying the poems and a discussion guide with optional writing prompts can be found online at www.barbgeiger.com. Come along! Enjoy the journey!
