<em>Begin with Rock, End with Water</em> is John Lane’s third collection of essays. In this new gathering of seventeen narrative essays Lane pushes even deeper into a twenty-year lyrical consideration of his place (and the place of all of us) in the changing natural world. <br><br>Though there are many themes and settings in this collection, rivers such as the Chattooga, Youghigheny, Dead, Reedy, Micos, Yuribamba, and Tallahatchie figure prominently in Lane’s understanding of place and culture.
