River Without End

Robert Marteau mixes the old world with the new in this evocation of the Saint Lawrence River as it flows through Quebec. One of the great lyric poets alive, Marteau’s gifts are apparent in his portrait of the universe of man and nature along the river’s course through the changes of season. River Without End is a triumph of the prose poem presented in journal form.
