The River Widens: Poems by - Softcover
A breath-taking river with lush wetlands and Florida''s natural environment are Bennett's inspiration for The River Widens. It is a poetically stunning collection about the moods and creatures of a Florida tidal river. Bennett's meditations and observations, coupled with his biologist's perspective of the Braden River, create succinct, wry and lyrical poems. On a dock or a flats walk, or a kayak paddle, Bennett transforms sightings into poems that capture the tempo of the river, its beauty and complexity, along with the struggles and accommodations among its wildlife. His natural curiosity about Florida's river life results in unique poems about the natural world as varied as Florida''s riverine environment.

He recently retired as Director, South Florida Museum. A Florida native, Bennett's pursuits, as in his youth, include writing, gardening, hiking, birding, fishing, canoeing and kayaking.

Bugeja commented: "A biochemist and published poet, Bennett packs so much information into so few lines that his lyrics resonate long afterward."
