FERTILE: An Anthology of Earth Poems and Prose from the High Desert and Mountains of the Four Corners Region
Edited by Laurie Hall, Sonja Horoshko
Literary Anthology (Fourth Corner Press, 2023)
“In many origin stories the concept of “word,” or “language,” is synonymous with creation. Formulating thoughts and expressing them through words reveals an entire universe of belief, place, and spirit. Language is power. FERTILE is a collective narrative of exceptional southwest contemporary authors examining the complex inspiration and influence our home planet transmits through human life. It replicates the inclusivity of the first book, WET. This second volume invites the authors to reach into Earth- surface, mantel, core and exosphere, and share personal stories with you, including many first languages, Dine, Nuchu, Hopi, Zuni and Mvskoke used by indigenous writers.” - Rebecca Levy, Fourth Corner Press, Cortez Cultural Center
