Blood Water Wind and Stone (5-year Anniversary)

Five-Year Anniversary EditionEditors anniversary notationWyoming is the least-populated state in America and it is filled with long silent stretches of prairie mountains that see snowfall every month of the year and a red desert filled with sand dunes and the fossilized past. It is perhaps this vastness and isolation which urge us to stop and contemplate our place in this landscape-and what we have to offer to its care.While Wyomings greatest populations-the four-legged finned and winged-do not speak human languages a deep and intensely felt kinship runs through these poems and stories from writers across the state. The pieces in this anthology relate what it is like to live at the intersection between human lives and needs and the environment of the high plains and the mountains-to mingle our ephemeral blood with the shaping forces of water wind and stone.
