PW Covington National Beat Poetry Foundation New Mexico BEAT Poet Laureate (2024-2026) USA National BEAT Poet Laureate (2026-2027) 'riverSongs' is a poetic homage to the flow and ever-liquid promise of the actual and spiritual rivers that course through the lives and lands we share. In their seventh collection of poetry, the National Beat Poetry Foundation's US Beat Poet Laureate (2026-2027), continues to honor and elevate the ever-changing flow of the highway, the flow of the seasons, the flow of poetry itself. "riverSongs' is PW's first collection to center their nonbinary/genderfluid presentation and expression. Covington invites readers to wade into their stream of words and rhythm, and encourages us all to explore the always-changing circumstances and conditions of what PW has coined 'Universal Flow'.
