The poets in this anthology give voice to spirits, winds, and the natural worlds of land trusts and conservancies. From literal descriptions of nature to the mystical spirit of it, the poems are an expression of authentic human encounters with the land. The sense of place is expressed through the imagery of the landscape and human emotions: longing, fragility, and loss. These poets transcribe the ineffable, that language that lives within our beings, and find the language of the numinous. ----Priscilla Orr, Poet and author of Losing the Horizon and Jugglers & Tides (Hannacroix Creek Books); founding editor of Stillwater Review. Each Writing the Land anthology deals with a different aspect of how we think, feel about land, the earth we live on. So dive in, go on a road trip in the comfort of your home and be inspired to join land trusts, and land conservancies and while you are at it enjoy the written word. Get to know of the work being done around the country to honor these beautiful places and keep them that way. --Paul Richmond, Human Error Publishing; and National Beat Poet Laureate (2019-2020) From small preserves to large working ranches, the profiles portray the notably diverse accomplishments of America's land trusts.These poignant writings and the stunning photographs that accompany them capture the breadth and depth of land conservation in the U.S. - Blair Calvert Fitzsimons, CEO emeritus, Texas Agricultural Land Trust; board member, Land Trust Alliance
