T MomWhat happens to the outer world happens to the inner world.I the outer world is diminished in its grandeur then the emotional, imaginative, intellectual, and spiritual li e o the human is diminished or extinguished. Without the soaring birds, the great orests, the sounds and coloration o the insects,the ree- owing streams, the owering f elds, the sight o the clouds by day and the stars at night, we become impoverished in all that makes us human.
Thomas Berry 1

We are passionate about creativity as a means o trans ormingconsciousness, both individually and socially. We hope to partic-ipate in a revolution to return poetry to the public discourse anda place in the world which matters. O the many important issueso our times we eel that our relationship to the environment is o the most undamental concern. Our publications ref ect the idealthat alling in love with the earth is nothing short o revolution-ary and that through our relationship to nature we can birth amore enlightened vision o li e or the uture. We believe that art
and poetry are the universal language o the human experienceand are thus most capable o trans orming our vision o sel andworld.
