A vibrant, fully alive anthology, Writing the Land: Youth Write the Land not only inspires but transcends! The essays and poems gathered here speak truth to power, honor the ancient call to sing wilderness, and open a path to wilderness within and without, the wilderness we all know and hope to embody and embrace, filled with shadow and light, beauty and ashes, rock, rivers, mountains, sky, and stars. By speaking of sacred lands, preserving present and future possibilities, the next generation has gifted us with an immutable, infinite vitality. May we heed the call, humble ourselves, and give back the graces we've been given here. -Shann Ray, American Book Award winner and author of Sweetclover Writing the Land: Youth Write the Land brings together the freshness of youth and Earth's ancient wisdom in a poignant and lyrical volume. Each poem and essay is a trace of the heart beating in synchrony with the entirety of Nature. Within this beautiful book, you can listen to the winds and words of the wild, feel Nature's pulse revitalized and follow first steps of humanity's new beginnings toward peace and renewal. -G.A. Bradshaw, founder and director The Kerulos Center for Nonviolence, author Talking with Bears: Conversations with Charlie Russell and The Evolved Nest: Nature's Way of Raising Children and Creating Connected Communities A remarkable collection of wildland poetry written by youth deeply moved by nature. I really enjoyed reading the poems in this anthology-may it reach and inspire many people! -Joseph Bharat Cornell, President of Sharing Nature Worldwide; author of Sharing Nature: Nature Awareness Activities for All Ages and Deep Nature Play: A Guide to Wholeness, Aliveness, Creativity, and Inspired Learning
