The now-defunct The Local Planet frequently included coverage of river issues, though this one was unusual in that the cover article was actually an existential piece entitled “Of Nudity, Violence, Waking and Water.” Written by Tod Marshall, this essay takes its inspiration from the catyclismic Missoula Floods during the last Ice Age, and moves to encourage the reader to experience the river as part of our individual and regional selves. Published in November, 2002.
