Like Langston Hughes, Akiko Busch knows rivers: the peaceable Delaware; Connecticut's shifting channels; the Susquehanna's gracious waters and the Hudson's storied past. Busch knows the subdued currents of the Monongahela; the dark waters of the Cheat; the Mississippi's multiplicity; the wide green Ohio and the Current's blue springs. Her Nine Ways to Cross a River is texturally rich and beautifully written.

And equally lovely and inspiring was this morning's aquatic choreography:
