Editor Jesse Lee Kercheval has paired poets and translators to produce a bilingual anthology that is both inspirational and instructive and reminds us how powerfully poetry can touch our minds and hearts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The poets were selected from a call for the SARAS (South American Institute for Resilience and Sustainability Studies) Prize in Poetry. SARAS is a transdisciplinary institute designed to help South America build a sustainable future. The three prize winners: Natalia Romero of Buenos Aires, Argentina; Sebastian Rivero of Colonia de Sacramento, Uruguay; and Virginia Lucas of Montevideo, Uruguay attended the annual SARAS conference in Uruguay and read their work to the assembled scientists. This collection includes the prize winners and seven other selected poets dedicated to integrating art with social and natural sciences.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><em>Earth, Water and Sky<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0covers an enormous range of imaginative and political terrain.

I can think of no better medium to convey these truths than poetry.<em>\u00a0<strong>Earth, Water, and Sky<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is essential reading.\u00a0<br \/>\n &#8211;Quan Barry, author of\u00a0<strong><em>Loose Strife<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These are important, necessary poems that delve deep beneath the surface of the natural world they seek to preserve. The compelling voices gathered in Earth, Water and Sky not only demand to be heard, they demand that we stand up and do something about it.\u00a0<br \/>\n &#8211;Kevin A.

Along with earth, water and sky, weasels, otters, and tourists with cameras inhabit these poems, as well as &#8220;little urban rivers along the unpaved streets,&#8221; as Virginia Lucas (translated by Jen Hofer) writes.
