    About this ebook

    Fancy Fastwater dances through cities, curving around the bends of life, never settling anywhere for the reader to become too entrenched. Each beat in this discography of a traveler washes over a moment, yet will sit with the reader for a lifetime. This collection of tightly-knit poetry interweaves nature with urban infrastructure against the backdrop of complicated relationships.

    This collection is inspired by the discography of Grand Rapids band, La Dispute.
