Manuel Paul L\\xf3pez curates poems that draw us into the nourishing mysteries of water. He shares Ofelia Zepeda\\u2019s evocation of moisture\\u2019s deep ties to people and land ("The Place Where Clouds Are Formed"), Li-Young Lee\\u2019s meditation on weeping and the gifts given by those we\\u2019ve lost ("'Why are you crying,' my father asked\\u2026"), and Quincy Troupe\\u2019s precise, tender visions of sunlight and sea ("The Point Loma Series of Haikus and Tankas"). L\\xf3pez closes with "Green Water," his own meditation on "the wild taste of self-preservation."
