Book Description
This collection of photographs and poetry is a celebration of a sport that is more than sport and a revering of the countless remarkable souls it brings together. By way of a series of 12" x 12" "scenes", with high-resolution photographs and accompanying verse, the book highlights a singular community bound by an extraordinary breadth of shared experiences spawned by no more than a gossamer shell, riggers and oars, and a body of water. Regardless of the specific aspects of rowing that have "hooked" us - elite-level intensity, recreational bliss, the special connections relished with partners, the environment, equipment, or with our selves; and of course, the challenge and wonder exclusively felt when interacting with water - this is a book that will remind every rower, past or present, of why the sport will forever be entwined with our souls.
