Go with the Flow: A Tribute to Clyde Sanborn

While editing the tribute book to poet Robert Sund (A Flutter of Birds Passing Through Heaven 2016) I heard about the other poet in La Conner Washington Clyde Sanborn. Knowing nothing about him except that he lived and died like Li Po I embarked on a journey to learn whatever I could. This tribute book is a rare treasury filled with memories interviews photos as well as Clydes handwritten poems and paintings. In the tradition of Li Po Clyde Sanborn was our very own Zen poet artist and river drifter. Not so long ago he was a well known fixture in La Conner but his story has never been told until now. This book provides an adventurous inspired look at the struggle of an illuminated artist. It will be of interest to everyone else out there in the same boat.
