With their roots in this element, the authors of \u003ci\u003eWater’s Edge\u003c\/i\u003e reflect on our natural environment: its forms, textures, and stewardship. Born from a colloquium organized by the editors at the Institute at Brown for Environment and Society, the anthology features a diverse group of writers and artists from half a dozen countries, from different fields of scholarship and practice: artists, biologists, geologists, poets, ecocritics, actors, and anthropologists. The contributors explore and celebrate water while reflecting on its disturbances and pollution, and their texts and art play with the boundaries by which we differentiate literary forms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the creative nonfiction, poetry, and visual art collected here, water moves from backdrop to subject. Ashley Dawson examines the effects of industrial farming on the health of local ecosystems and economies. Painter Kulvinder Kaur Dhew captures water’s brilliance and multifaceted reflections through a series of charcoal pieces that interlace the collection. Poet Arthur Sze describes the responsibility involved in the careful management of irrigation ditches in New Mexico. Rather than concentrating their thoughts into a singular, overwhelming argument, the authors circulate moments of apprehension, intimation, and felt experience. They are like tributaries, each carrying, in a distinctive style, exigent and often intimate reports concerning a substance upon which all living organisms depend.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributions by Coral Bracho, Akiko Busch, Ashley Dawson, Kulvinder Kaur Dhew, Brenda Hillman, Maya Khosla, Will McGrath, José-Luis Moctezuma, Zoe Nyssa, Ailsa Piper, Elizabeth Rush, Cole Swensen, Arthur Sze, Wendy Woodson, Atul Bhalla, Samuel Gregoire and Colin Channer.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNOTE TO THE READER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWRITING ON WATER, AN INTRODUCTION —\u003cbr\u003e Lenore Manderson and Forrest Gander\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSANGAM ACOUSTICS: IMMIGRANT SEA —\u003cbr\u003e Forrest Gander\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHE LAKE AND THE CITY —\u003cbr\u003e JosÉ\u003cbr\u003e-Luis Moctezuma\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCHICKEN SHIT \u0026amp;\u003cbr\u003e THE CHESAPEAKE BAY|\u003cbr\u003e Ashley Dawson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEPHEMERA —\u003cbr\u003e Kulvinder Kaur Dhew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCALLING THE KINGS BACK UP A RIVER THEY LOST —\u003cbr\u003e Maya Khosla\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTAKING MEASURE —\u003cbr\u003e Akiko Busch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGIANT TUNA —\u003cbr\u003e Maya Khosla\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNOTES ON AN IMPURE HYDROPOETICS \u0026amp;\u003cbr\u003e THE WATER MOLECULE —\u003cbr\u003e Brenda Hillman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSEASIDE HALLUCINATION —\u003cbr\u003e Will McGrath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eACEQUIAS AS QUIPUS, QUIPUS AS POEMS —\u003cbr\u003e Arthur Sze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eATLAS WITH SHIFTING EDGES —\u003cbr\u003e Elizabeth Rush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTRANSFORMOCEAN —\u003cbr\u003e Samuel Gregoire, translated by Forrest Gander\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDIPPING IN —\u003cbr\u003e Lenore Manderson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROOTS —\u003cbr\u003e Colin Channer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHIGHWATER NOCTURNE —\u003cbr\u003e Kulvinder Kaur Dhew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLIVING WITH THE RIVER —\u003cbr\u003e Cole Swensen  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSTILL, LIFE —\u003cbr\u003e Ailsa Piper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHE WATERS WILL REMEMBER —\u003cbr\u003e Atul Bhalla\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGULF —\u003cbr\u003e Kulvinder Kaur Dhew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSOURCING THE STREAM —\u003cbr\u003e Wendy Woodson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEURYCEA —\u003cbr\u003e Zoe Nyssa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWATER’\u003cbr\u003eS LUBRICIOUS EDGES —\u003cbr\u003e Coral Bracho, translated by Forrest Gander\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eABOUT THE CONTRIBUTORS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Curbstone Books 2","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52555667341592,"sku":"9780810145795","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/waters-edge-writing-on-water-paperback-softback-9780810145795","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
