Description

The Stream of Everything by John Connell is a quietly triumphant exploration of life's rhythms and the natural world. As the author reflects on his own experiences, he finds himself drawn to the Camlin river, a place of boyhood adventure, family history, and local legend.

Alongside his friend Peter Geoghegan, John embarks on a two-day canoeing trip down the river, observing the symphony of life that surrounds them. As they paddle, he contemplates his past relationships, battles with depression, and broader themes such as Irish folklore, geopolitics, and philosophy.

The result is a winding, bucolic account of the summer when they discovered home - a celebration of close observation and a reverie on the beauty of the natural world.
