Walt Whitman's iconic \"Crossing Brooklyn Ferry\" and Emily Dickinson's tersely erotic \"My River Runs to Thee\" stream alongside poems from ancient Babylon and Egypt. Contributions from India, Nepal, Japan, China, Thailand, France, Germany, Russia, Serbia, Chile, Mexico, the Congo, and Nigeria round out this celebration of the rivers of the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIncludes: \u003cbr\u003e- \"My River Runs to Thee\" by Emily Dickinson\u003cbr\u003e- \"The Negro Speaks of Rivers\" by Langston Hughes\u003cbr\u003e- \"Ol' Man River\" by Oscar Hammerstein II\u003cbr\u003e- \"The Golden Boat\" by Rabindranath Tagore\u003cbr\u003e- \"The River God\" by Stevie Smith\u003cbr\u003e- \"The River Bends but the Water Does Not\" by Buddhādasa Bhikkhu \u003cbr\u003e- \"The Niagara River\" by Kay Ryan\u003cbr\u003e- \"Amazon\" by Pablo Neruda \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEveryman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHENRY HUGHES is a poet, essayist, and professor of English at Western Oregon University.
