It was living rocks that can move, grow, and reproduce, so I drew again. I drew the Anjikuni Lake in Canada. I looked through a couple of sites and decided that I would keep it because it looked interesting to me. I looked at more sites and each site helped me understand the disappearance of the people more and more. It is an unsolved…

Katie Ford’s engaging and thoughtful poem, “The Vessel Bends the Water,” is a perfect example of this experience.
