Hoosic River is a long poem dedicated to the Hoosic River Watershed Association (hoorwa.org), a nonprofit citizen group that looks after the river. This work was composed while visiting various public-protected lands inside the river's watershed, places that reside in and around ancestral lands and the home today of Muhheaconneok and western Abenaki peoples. The river's name belongs to the Algonquin language family and Algonquin peoples came to this land as home over twelve thousand years ago as the last glaciers retreated from the region when the river too came into being.
