From Root to Seed lifts up the poetic voices of Black, Brown, and Indigenous writers who have deep historical and current connections to the land, places, and the natural world of the Northeastern region of the United States. The 25 contemporary writers featured in this collection share poetry that engages with nature and land from a wide variety of vantage points, from the grand scale - imaging Sarah Baartman dreaming of boats and oceans - to the minute - an instruction on how to live like a snail. With its mix of emerging and well-established writers, From Root to Seed inserts critical voices into the stream of nature poetry coming out of the Northeast. This brief, but poignant collection serves as reminder that Black, Brown, and Indigenous people have deep roots in this region and continue to thrive here.
