Earthly Love: Stories of Intimacy and Devotion from Orion Magazine

Earthly Love is Orion’s most ambitious anthology yet, a combination of poetry and prose that illuminates the nature of love in the Anthropocene. With an introduction by Barry Lopez, the book includes fifteen personal essays and nineteen poems. A combination of new work and favorites from the Orion archive, Earthly Love covers subjects like making declarations, going to weddings, touching hands for the first time, eating the ten-thousandth meal together, queering nature, hunting, coming out, breaking up, reading the personal ads, sharing apples, salt, and blackberries, slug sex, and more.
