Flood meander scar is a river's experiment: high water forges new flow patterns. The mainstream may never frequent these pathways; yet, the record of such possibilities intensifies our awareness. An oxbow lake cutoff is a small curved lake lying on the flood plain of a river that is the remnant of a meander. Subsequent books by experimentalists push the current Meander Scar into new curves.	Confluence occurs when two or more streams merge or when non-riverine bodies of water meet. This poetry series seeks such convergence by publishing writers from divergent communities — ecological and aesthetic. Reading crosscurrents carries writers into new habits and habitats.		Witness post refers to a signpost "placed on a claim line when it cannot be placed in the corner of a claim because of water or difficult terrain." Our culture is a kind of terrain that makes sustainability and reclamation difficult. These writers bear witness to this complex task; their claims help us work toward awareness and action.	The geological term, wavefront, refers to a surface of a seismic disturbance. Stone shifts. Splash. Visual record. Light is sent out in all directions. Artists in this series give us direction by pointing to the edges of beauty; they lure others into their wake.	Our salo[o]ns pair writers and artists for an exhibition and performance. Each gala is documented in a literary chapbook with full color plates. This series began our press back in 2006. Stockport Flats is named for a flood plain on the Pennsylvania side of the Upper Delaware River.
