A River Runs features over 200 original Benny Sip poems, fully revamped and expanded in this 2.0 edition. Rooted in rivers, nature, memory, and meaning, it’s a lyrical invitation to slow down, pay attention, and follow what moves you.

“Benny’s little book of poems can be life altering. Like a river following life’s twists and turns, profoundly moving-flowing A River Runs will change your world. We can’t own a river except in our hearts. Sip brings those rivers into our hearts through his personable and witty words.” — Craig Mathews (1% for the Planet)

“Benny’s book is page after page of reset-buttons. Even standing behind the counter of a fly shop can become a mind-numbing affair. Open to any page, give yourself a minute to read, a minute to exhale, and find yourself ready for the next customer to ask, ‘What’s the best fly rod?’ Ben has saved many of my customers from the surly fly shop owner.” — Michael Fischer (Mend Provisions)

“I finally had a chance to read A River Runs over the past few days. Beautiful — a sentiment to live by.” — William Souder (Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize)

“Like Richard Brautigan’s Trout Fishing in America, Benny Sip has nearly invented a genre. Hands down the best book of ‘poetry’ I’ve read in years. I couldn’t put it down.” — Backcountry DOC Hut Review
