Once and Future River: Reclaiming the Duwamish

"The photographs of Tom Reese show the contrasts of the healing work in progress. . . . Once and Future River uncovers many of the Duwamish’s stories, with a focus on the power of restoration and reconciliation." * Cascadia Weekly * "The star is the photography of Tom Reese who finds beauty and nature in the river without ever trying to sugarcoat the reality of damaged wildlife and ways of life. . . . Reese’s images tell the contemporary story of a river being reclaimed, of the good work being done to restore the natural environment and mitigate a history of cultural violence. The Duwamish is a wound, one largely hidden from sight and history. This important book will open your eyes." -- Knute Berger * Crosscut * "This captivating book engages the Duwamish River in image and word. With nearly a hundred color photographs, the photographer and longtime Duwamish River advocate Tom Reese captures the rich textures, complicated pressures, and restless visions that give meaning to the contemporary Duwamish River. The writer Eric Wagner . . . composes a multifaceted narrative of the evolving relationships between people and the river." -- Ken Yocom * Pacific Northwest Quarterly (PNQ) * "From the recovering chinook salmon to the manufacturing plants that turned the Duwamish into a Superfund site, the images in this book portray a dynamic river carrying its complex legacy into a difficult recovery." -- Rebecca Worby * High Country News *
