Written River is a literary journal published by Hiraeth Press, which focuses on poetry and non-fiction prose exploring nature and our relationship to it. Published as an annual anthology, we strive to encourage the discipline of eco-poetics and return the voice of the poet to the body of the Earth. Eco-poetics 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.
