Description

Writing the Land: Northeast is an anthology of 11 land trusts and 40 poets who wrote poems inspired by their adopted lands. Information about the land trusts and lands open to the public is included within each chapter as well as the poems. Foreword by Tom Butler.

“Writing the Land is an attempt to honor nature and our relationship with it in a way that is as equitable and transparent as it is deep and entangled. We intend to be as inclusive—to humans and places—as we hope the mantle of protection that land trusts offer can be. Our work will never be complete but gains strength, depth, beauty, and energy in a multitude of voices.” —-Lis McLoughlin, editor
