Music Over the Water

John Repp is a widely published poet who also won the prestigious 2013 Akron Poetry Prize. In his chapbook of stirring poems, Music Over the Water, Repp's keen sense of the musicality of language and knack for juxtaposing the ephemeral with the familiar moves readers through a poetically crafted landscape ripe with interdependency. Each poem is a meditation on the complex relationships between the self, other humans, and nature.
