In the small town of Lake Nebagamon, Wisconsin, Brodsky finds a full sense of love for the outdoors. He finds himself "taking time to look and listen, see, and hear." Poem after poem shares one man's alerted words for the American north country and for our journeying moods of mind and body, in this ever-changing natural world. At Water's Edge introduces us to Brodsky's own corner of nature and leaves us anticipating future visits, in the subsequent volumes of Poems of Lake Nebagamon.
