Book excerpt: In this anthology, 40 poets offer poems inspired by protected lands in New England, and 11 land trusts tell the stories of how and why they do this vital work. From farmland trusts to wilderness preserves, from community land trusts to those protecting vital environmental systems, each organization has a vital piece of the puzzle of how humans can live in harmony with the rest of Nature. 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.
