Tributaries is a pulse, a heartbeat of imprinted memories found within the land we all find ourselves in. Listen closely to the language of tree bark, owl howls, bison, coyotes, butterfly dreams. An eco-poetic journey that digs into the humanity and spirituality of nature and the one who travels its paths. As Everett writes, "My body is a land of limestone/karstic, hollow, just as malleable, /a living structure where the dead/carve their initials."
