Elizabeth Schultz’s sixth book of poetry, WATER-GAZERS, confirms and inspires our dependency on and our fascination with water. With particular attention to lakes and oceans, her poetry considers water not only as a source of multitudinous life, but specifically as a source of joy, of surprise, and occasionally of distress and disaster. The rhythms of water are the rhythms of her poetry. Schultz’s poems allow us to contemplate our diverse relationships with water as we share it with other living beings, as we travel across it, as we abuse it, and as we listen to it in our dreams.
