Femininity, Fecundity & Flow

Abstract

During the afternoon of the Anthropocene River Public Opening of the Anthropocene River Campus at Tulane University in New Orleans in the Autumn of 2019, Jamie Allen was invited to deliver a “river reflection.” Having been at the unceremonious ceremony of departure of the boating community that left from the mouth of the Mississippi River at Lake Itasca over three months earlier, his reflections centered on the intimate forces, unflappable momentums, and generous flows that all witness to, admired and were inspired by at this precipitous launch, and throughout the journey down the “Old Man River.”
