Remembering

Speaking of new books, how do you like the look of this one? It's composed of essays by students in my "Religion and Ecology" class, edited by L, the student who served as "academic fellow" for the class, and just graduated with a major in creative writing and a minor in religious studies. The cover was designed by a student from Parsons School of Design. The title is borrowed from Robin Wall Kimmerer.


L did the layout over many frustrated hours with an only superficially user-friendly publishing program called BookWright of a Kindle-alternative called Blurb. It's not an eBook, though: as our class moved from in-person to online, we thought it would have special meaning to gather together again in a physical object each of us could hold in our hands. Let's see how it feels when the copies arrive! Thanks, L.
