UPSTREAM gives form to a belief that life, itself, is a relationship with the Earth. Inspired by the Eastern tradition of the travelogue, and guided by the sensibilities aroused by Native Nation cosmologies, this chapbook lifts the reader gently up the Mississippi River, from its confluence with the Ohio to the Missouri. As a personal memoir of paddling a kayak in early winter, this sequence chronicles a conjoining of self, history, and environmental awareness in an age of climate change. For information about the author, see:  www.MarkBHamilton.WordPress.com

Mark B. Hamilton is an environmental neo-structuralist, working with diachronic forms to transform content, adapting from both Eastern and Western traditions.
