Summary:

"All I Feel is Rivers is a collection of essays in a ground-breaking genre, the "dervish essay," a new kind of hybrid writing that, though spiritually akin to prose poems, retains an essayistic form. Vivian's dervish essays take on grief and loss, the natural world and climate, spirituality and ecstasy, all while pushing the boundaries of what prose can do"-- Provided by publisher.
