Things that are

by Amy Leach

In a series of essays that progress from the tiniest earth dwellers to the most far flung celestial bodies -- considering the similarity of gods to donkeys, the inexorability of love and vines, the relations of exploding stars to exploding sea cucumbers -- Amy Leach rekindles a vital communion with the wild world, dormant for far too long.
