Description

Abby Phillips Metzger’s book of private stories recounts a forgotten Oregon river, the Willamette, because it was once before white settlement. Once a wealthy network of channels and sloughs, the Willamette as of late bears the scars of development and degradation.

Yet, through canoe trips and intimate explorations of the river, Metzger discovers glints of resiliency: a beaver trolling through a slough, native fish in quiet backwaters, and strong currents that carry undertones of the wild Willamette. Along side tales from farmers and scientists alike, these experiences lead Metzger to invite whether something scarred can fully heal, and whether a disjointed river can also be whole again.

A story of re-discovery as told by a learner, Meander Scars will appeal to readers of literary nonfiction, river advocates, naturalists, and outside enthusiasts involved in sustaining healthy river systems for themselves, their children, and beyond.
