"Greene alternates poetic verses with a more straightforward narrative to tell the story of the Sunflower, a side-wheeler boat that runs aground in a shoal and is abandoned (1865). Over the course of many years, the wreck becomes the basis of an island, providing a place to picnic and fish, until a storm sweeps it away, leaving the river to be just a river again"..
