Items related to Earth & Eros
Synopsis
In the tradition of The Sense of Wonder by Rachel Carson and On the Loose by Terry and Renny Russell, Earth & Eros combines words and photographs to inspire readers to deepen their connection with nature. The book awakens readers to the full force of eros -- the life force that connects us to our bodies, other humans, all living beings, and the earth as a living being.
Intended as an antidote to an age obsessed by speed, screens, and machines, Earth & Eros brings together previously published literature with thirty color fine art landscape photographs to explore the sacred erotic dimension of humans' relationship to the earth. Poems and prose pieces by nearly seventy authors -- including Terry Tempest Williams, Gary Snyder, Pablo Neruda, Diane Ackerman, Sherman Alexie, Zora Neale Hurston, D. H. Lawrence, Louise Erdrich, Li-Young Lee, and Jane Hirshfield -- weave together images of the natural world with the language of desire, celebrating a sensuality that honors the earth and flesh as sacred.
Includes a foreword by Robert Michael Pyle ("The Earth Whispers and Croons") and a preface by Lorraine Anderson ("Eros and the New World Crying to Be Born").
