Eric Hoffer Award Honorable Mention in Poetry
Eric Hoffer Award Grand Prize Short List
Medal Provocateur Finalist
IPNE Book Awards Poetry Winner Tender the River captures in verse the history and legacy of the Merrimack River Valley, from the Pennacook, Wamesit, Algonquin, and other indigenous tribes who settled there first, to the European settlers who came with guns and their god to supplant them, to being the birthplace of America's industrial revolution and first labor movements, to becoming a center of continued immigration, of entrenched nativism, and even multicultural celebration. The Merrimack River begins with the confluence of the Pemigewasset and Winnipesaukee rivers spilling from the White Mountains in New Hampshire, then travels down through mill towns like Manchester, Lowell, and Haverhill to finally spit out violently into the Atlantic in the old port (now posh) town of Newburyport. In its journey between those points and as well across the centuries, the Merrimack River Valley has been America in microcosm, many of the nation's democratic successes and demagogic sins being seeded there. The Signature Series comprises signed, numbered, limited edition, hardcover reprints of select titles from the TRP backlist. Books in this series feature clothbound covers with foil stamping and exclusive cover designs, which are variants to the standard paperback edition. Each book in the Signature Series is limited to 100 numbered copies.
