Delp is the best contemporary poet dealing with water. His sensitivity and emotional embrace of water is unique. I have used this book (and his equally good The Coast of Nowhere) in teaching my water management and ethics courses at Harvard University, as well as quoting Delp fully 9 times (only Thoreau is more represented!) in my own book Deep Immersion: The Experience of Water (nominated for top environmental book of the year). Delp's writing makes us want to stop reading and start plunging into water. For as Thoreau wrote "That part of you that is wettest is full of life" (quoted in Profitably Soaked: Thoreau's Engagement With Water, Green Frigate Books, 2003).
