What a timely endeavor Writing the Land is, gathering poets and sending them to land trust preserves, asking only for their responses to being there. I applaud the anthology for the attention it brings to these trusts, whose foresight and hard work preserves land that could be spoiled by human encroachment. And I applaud these poets for their faithfulness to the natural world and their ability to find words and forms for their feeling and thoughtful responses. -Margaret Gibson, Poet Laureate of Connecticut (2019-2022) We have always relied on poets to help us better understand our world and articulate the human experience. Understanding the essential relationship between people and nature has never been more important. Writing the Land describes the inspirational efforts of land trusts across New England to conserve our land and also includes a thought provoking collection of poetry about the land itself. In combing these elements, this book explores the critical connection between ecological and human well-being. -Paul Catanzaro, Professor & State Extension Forester, Co-Director Family Forest Research Center, Environmental Conservation Department, University of Massachusetts It was a pleasure to read this book - a collection of poems that honor the beauty of the land, our connection to it and the vital work of land trusts. -Jen Plowden, New England Program Manager, Land Trust Alliance
