Spotlight on The Rocky Mountain Land Library: RMLL Recommends


"Six times a year, the Land Library let’s out a woop! as the latest issue of Resurgence arrives. It’s always difficult to know how to spend a limited acquisition budget, but this magazine makes the decision an easy one.

Produced from a cottage in Devon England, Resurgence faithfully documents the age-old relationship between people and the land. With an wonderful blend of art, poetry, and inspiring articles, this journal both values the past, and is creatively engaged in our trouble-strewn present.

Its current issue (July/August 2010) features a special focus on ecological health, and the link between a healthy planet and healthy people — along with an article by E.O. Wilson, a poem by Wendell Berry, and a typically astute essay (by Caspar Walsh) on Tolkien for our times: 'If ever there was an extended fable for the causes, effects and solutions to our modern-day woes, the timeless wisdom of Tolkien’s epic is it.'"

Resurgence is available at all of Tattered Cover's newsstands.
