About

Written River

Written River is a lit­erary journal pub­lished bi-​​annually by Hiraeth Press which focuses on poetry and non-​​fiction prose exploring nature and our rela­tion­ship to it.  Published on the Summer and Winter Solstices in dig­ital format, we strive to encourage the dis­ci­pline of ecopo­etics and return the voice of the poet to the body of the Earth.  Ecopoetics is poetry in which the energy of the ecosystem flows through the poem, cre­ating a written river of words which ebbs with the cre­ativity of the entire Earth com­mu­nity.  Written River marks the con­flu­ence of many streams and many voices as they flow back into the nour­ishing ground of the water­shed.
