I recommended this book to a nature writer friend as a master class in nonfiction. Yes, our coastline is going under water, and, yes, it is our own damn fault, but Rush takes us readers beyond science and down to the nitty gritty humanity of it all. We meet down-and-out folks along the Louisiana coast, hard scrabble Staten Islanders, gettin’ soggy Floridians, to name but a few—and all are preparing for Noah’s flood in one way another. We also get a glimpse into different coping strategies. Good luck, some sort of Revelation is on the way.

People said I should read Rilke. I didn’t until I found an old copy of this book in a used bookstore, and I was glad I did. The book is organized chronologically, and each period of Rilke’s publication history is interspersed with poet Robert Bly’s commentary. I found Bly’s thoughts invaluable, providing context and focusing my attention. I learned that Rilke’s German God is of the swamp and the bog, not the sky. Who knew?
For poetry lovers and students of literature and literary criticism, Robert Bly, the National Book Award-winning poet, brings his prowess as a translator and critic to bear on the work of one of the major German poets of the century.
