Purchase Pathways Anthology for Land & Poetry

HighHope_west-side

We are honored to be one of ten featured Land Trusts in the newly published Writing the Land® anthology, Pathways. This collaboration is part of a celebration of Living Lands' 25th anniversary. This milestone and cultural collaboration are a tribute to all those who have carried the work and cared so deeply for the wellbeing of land and people over the past 25 years. We also wish to extend our deepest gratitude and appreciation to the five talented poets listed below that wrote for Living Lands places and partners.

"Writing the Land is a vital project that asks through the language of poetry the most important question that faces us in these cataclysmic times: who are we without the land and the more-than-human kin it nourishes, who nourish us in return? Each anthology contains poems that expose the lie of separation between human and nature, and returns us to the reality that even when trapped amongst pavement and concrete, we are but seedlings and genetic cousins to trees, plants, stones, and mycelia. To know ourselves, we must know the land."

 

—Angela Maria Spring, poet, journalist, and owner of Duende District, a pop-up bookstore project for and by people of color, where all are welcome.

Purchasing and sharing this book supports Living Lands Trust by raising awareness and appreciation for land, place, and culture.
