Fishing for Eternity: Poems from the River of Life
Ebook
Besides being about noble, humble, and abominable fish like the Northern Pike, Sunfish, and Snakehead, Fishing for Eternity is about love, loss, family, friendship, time, and the hope of a hereafter. It is about two rivers--the Willow and the St. Croix--and how they intersect in the souls of immigrants and flow through the lives of their children. "The Lord does not subtract from our allotted time the hours spent fishing."
“Kent Gramm seems to have revisited his youthful origins as a ‘flexible, romantic Lutheran’ who knows, nonetheless, that ‘Krishna is blue’ in this new collection of refreshingly public odes that meander meditatively through memory, reverie, and narrative like the ever-changing-unchanging native rivers he celebrates. These are poems of pure spirit.”
—William Hathaway, author of Dawn Chorus: New and Selected Poems, 1971–2017
