Riverwalkers recounts the creation of the world through the life of a little water bug, who finally grows tired of walking on water. It is a cycle of rural myth poems. This collection is concerned with the process of life, birth through death. It concerns itself mainly with the nature of death, and how we as human beings come to terms with the death of a loved one, all the while preparing ourselves for own death. But this cycle does so in a very natural, imagistic way. It strives to accept death as a natural, beautiful necessity of life.
