Description: Fashioned at the intersection of imagination and experience, The River Won't Hold You interrogates loneliness and loss with quiet insistence.
Review Quotes: "The River Won't Hold You is a haunted, burning house of poems. Karin Gottshall's voice is completely unique, but there's a strange ancientness here, and what is left to mystery in these poems is often as important as what is explicit. Gottshall is an imagery magician, and a musician, too. Her poetry is unforgettable, significant, and lovely." --Laura Kasischke
