These ancestral depths are a tree’s nature.

Every year, in late summer, we scour local fields and meadows, flipping the wide yellow-green, leaves of aging milkweed, searching for the bumblebee striped monarch caterpillars hiding beneath. The sun is but a morning star, and we are just a story, the beginning and the ending lapping together at the shore. We stand, heads bowed, then return to the house for brown bread and butter, and jam from the English blackberries growing out of control along the south fence.Margaret lives in interior Alaska, where her neighbors include moose, gyrofalcons, ravens and the occasional porcupine seeking raspberry leaves.David lives on Baugo Bay, a series of canals surrounded by wetlands, where the St. Joseph River and Baugo Creek meet close to the Indiana and Michigan border.Everything, from the tops of cellphone towers on down, begins popping like heated-up tin.Each child’s finger printed, then dropped into an orange juice can.Ed lives less than two miles from the banks of the Mississippi River in a landscape dominated by thunderous downpours and sudden floods that tax the Amite and Comite River watersheds. A singular self, solitary yet descendant of so many bodies, so many branches.To humans, trees are as emblematic as illustrations we draw of our bodies—from our crown to our legs.
Includes visual art and literature.Feminist, interdisciplinary journal that features content by and about women of color. The peripheral sound has its echo in dusk’s shape-shifting shadows, coordinates in the darkening at which we slide into night sight.As I lie, tangled in bedsheets and tendrils of heat, staring down the empty dark, the memory of that sound roots, turns, twists inside me.

A Literary Journal of the Environmental Crisis. Would he see a mindless herd of cattle confined in a farm pond here, or a polity of self-actualized individuals exercising their spirits along with their bodies?Last night in the motel in Concord, when I was checking on the internet to see what time Waldon Pond opened up, I came across a website rating various swimming holes of the world.
It is alive, but it will not fly.I wonder what happened inside that chrysalis. They gave us scope and height we could never attain otherwise, and when there was no landmark to show us the way, we climbed their branches in order to see where we were and what lay ahead. We try not to think about the frantic mother left behind. I am human, yet even the cells in my body are wild.I want to accept impermanence, yet sometimes still I seek to soften the blow.
And with the shade of these great limbs, the oxygen that permeated and the matter they created, this planet became able to sustain life as we know it.Every animal that swims, slithers, crawls or leaps depends on the prone stillness of trees. Print subscription.Online literary journal that "seeks to promote exceptional writing by women."
The mothers are depleted and bold from desperation.We lost two animals in two days. Another butterfly emerged early this morning, breaking through the onionskin and unfolding its majestic wings. —Jordan Osborne lives nestled between the Front Range prairie and Long's Peak in Colorado.Born near the Cuyahoga River just before it caught fire, raised in the Great Smokies near the rolling waters of the Upper French Broad, Marybeth transplanted to Alaska’s Chugach Mountains after falling head over heels for Prince William Sound—just two years before the devastating Exxon Valdez oil spill changed her life trajectory.John lives in the Wildcat Creek watershed near Tilden Park in Berkeley, California.She arrives with the fervor of an unfinished dream.Corbett abides at the headwaters of the Trinity River on the Blackland Prairie, a nearly flat landscape in all directions.
Sometimes I try to describe it, the cry, but it doesn’t feel possible.
My children watched with delight.We don’t pray at our house. Print subscription.
