Where are we? How do we know this place without a map? What can we notice about landforms, life forms, and waterways? Who else is here? Who was here before us?ДЎ. Thanks to John Meier and his team who are making a documentary about the Great Salt Lake, we have a recording from that day: Over a hundred folks read the first 1706 lines of the poem aloud to the lake as an offering to Great Salt Lake on February 19th, 2022 on Antelope Island. May the praise continue to flow! Please join us in community prayer on behalf of our hemispherically essential ecosystem. The poem is fluid and may continue to ebb and flow on its way to becoming a book to be published by Toad Hall Editions this fall. There are 432 voices and 2580 lines in this poem. By turning our hearts and faces toward the lake, we may also save ourselves. Although we know that even an epic poem cannot save the lake overnight, we believe in poetry's power to transform a culture of apathy and disdain into one defined by reverence for life. Poetry is a call to pay attention and what we attend to grows. We present this text as a polyphonic love-letter to our imperiled beloved.
