Water, Volume 3 of the 5-Volume Elementals series, is a stunning collection of essays, poetry, and stories that illuminate the dynamic relationships between people and place, human and nonhuman life, mind and the material world, and the living energies that make all life possible.
We are deeply dependent on water. In conjunction with the other elementals, water makes us and the living Earth possible and defines our very existence. More than simply a commodity to be bought and sold, water is a lived essence to be honored. The stories and poems in this volume invite us to ponder the traditions, perspectives, and aspirations linked to this vibrant and vital element. Welcome to Water.
The Elementals series explores how people from various cultures across the planet have worked with these powerful forces of change and regeneration to shape landscapes and deepen personal and place-based relationships. Contributors for Water, Volume 3 include: Gavin Van Horn • Bruce Jennings • Ingrid Leman Stefanovic • Nickole Brown • Kathleen Dean Moore • Clifford Gordon Atleo • Joy Harjo • Martin Lee Mueller • Mark Riegner • Robert Wrigley • CD Wright • Hannah Close • Forrest Gander • Marzieh Miri • Elizabeth Bradfield • Margo Farnsworth • Geffrey Davis • Lyanda Fern Lynn Haupt • Anna Selby • Lisa María Madera • Özge Yaka • J. Drew Lanham
With compelling stories and insightful reflections, Water, Volume 3 reveals how people are working with, adapting to, and cocreating relational depth and ecological diversity by respectfully attending to the aquatic forces that shape our everyday worlds.
