  1. 1. River Time

    The Frontier on the Lower Neuse

    "River Time" is a lyrical exploration of the author's intimate connection with the natural world, particularly the rivers and waterways of the American South. Through a series of evocative essays, the narrative weaves personal anecdotes, historical reflections, and keen observations of the flora and fauna that inhabit these aquatic ecosystems. The author's prose invites readers to contemplate the complex relationships between humans and nature, the passage of time, and the importance of preserving these vital, yet vulnerable, environments. The book serves as both a meditation on the transformative power of rivers and a call to recognize and respect the rhythms of the natural world.
