What the River Carries

In this eloquent collection of essays, Lisa Knopp examines the landscapes of the Mississippi, Missouri, and Platte rivers, exploring how people perceive and connect with these waterways from different perspectives—the insider, outsider, and aspiring insider. Through poetic reflection and scientific inquiry, she delves into the subtle complexities of river behavior and the human experience of place, encouraging listeners to consider their own relationship with the land. Winner of the 2013 Nebraska Book Award for Nonfiction, the audiobook invites a thoughtful meditation on how we love, understand, and responsibly dwell within the natural world.
