{"product_id":"9781940468280","title":"Earth \u0026 Eros: A Celebration in Words and Photographs","description":"\u003cbr\u003eIn the tradition of \u003ci\u003eThe Sense of Wonder\u003c\/i\u003e by Rachel Carson and \u003ci\u003eOn the Loose\u003c\/i\u003e by Terry and Renny Russell, \u003ci\u003eEarth \u0026amp; Eros\u003c\/i\u003e combines words and photographs to inspire readers to deepen their connection with the good Earth. The book awakens readers to the full force of eros — life force that connects us to our bodies, other humans, all living beings, and the Earth as a living being.\u003cp\u003eIntended as an antidote to an age obsessed by speed, screens, and machines, this book brings together previously published prose and poetry with 25 fine art landscape photographs to explore the sacred erotic dimension of humans’ relationship to the Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe writings in \u003ci\u003eEarth \u0026amp; Eros\u003c\/i\u003e were chosen for their brevity, readability, beauty, and potency, and the photographs for their sensuality. Readers engage with writers such as David James Duncan, Hart Crane, Diane Ackerman, Sherman Alexie, D. H. Lawrence, Mary Oliver, and Pablo Neruda. Some of the pieces of writing are explicitly sexual, while others appreciate the sensuality of tree limbs, seeping water, mushrooms, and ferns. Earth and Eros is beautifully produced and a pleasure to hold and to look at, a book to read and reread slowly, out loud.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"White Cloud Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039715344624,"sku":"9781940468280","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781940468280_p0.jpg?v=1763668821","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781940468280","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
