Drawing inspiration from Aristotle's support for figurative language and universal truth, this semi-annual journal brings together carefully crafted verse to illuminate water's dual nature as both nurturer and destroyer, healer and harbinger of change. Within these pages, poets from around the world transform their intimate experiences with water into universal truths. Each poem serves as a reflection pool, mirroring back our deepest connections to nature and ourselves. Join us in this poetic journey through the ebb and flow of existence, where each word ripples outward to touch the shores of human experience. Perfect for poetry lovers, nature enthusiasts, and anyone seeking to explore the poetic depths of human connection to the natural world.
