Boater: Life on England’s Waterways is a forthcoming nonfiction work by Jo Bell, acclaimed poet, industrial archaeologist, and the inaugural Canal and River Trust laureate. The book is a deeply personal and richly researched tribute to the UK’s canal system and the communities shaped by it. Rather than a conventional travelogue, Boater blends memoir, history, and cultural commentary, drawing on Bell’s years of living aboard her narrowboat and her expertise in industrial archaeology.
