Description: Where Water Begins, which arrives thirteen years after his last collection of new poems, resumes John Stone's literary quest to express his fascination with life's mysteries and miracles. Much has happened in the interim, as this collection of writing intimates. While Stone's artistic gaze combines the perspectives of poet, physician, teacher, husband, and father, his world has changed, reorienting and deepening his vision.

The title of the book suggests both a journey and an enigma: water as source, water as life - whether it flows as a rivulet near Stone's cabin in the north Georgia mountains or circulates within the human body.
