Swimming into Sunsets

A slim chapbook of poetry and prose with images from the Yuba River Watershed.


"The Yuba River can be seen as an actual objective phenomenon, or subjectively, as it is reflected in our feelings or culture. This is the subtle, but very real landscape, much of which remains invisible to our mind and hearts until we experience it. Through words the landscape is perpetually kept alive and the flat objective landscape is given identity 


Pamela Biery’s words and photographs reflect on the subtle and sublime world of the Yuba River. She experiences the river canyon by opening to it and letting it flow. We all respond to such splendor in our own way but few of us articulate it as well as she does." —Hank Meals, from the Introduction
