Of Small Children / And Other Poor Swimmers

Of Small Children / And Other Poor Swimmers is centered in the push-pull of place. Hendrickson wants to leave behind his Florida childhood, where every memory is still moist, but he continues "calling on the voices" and crossing back, wading into love, loss and danger with vivid imagery.
