an annual publication dedicated to reflective environmental practice, produced by graduate student editors, and published by Antioch University New England
Founded in 1992, Whole Terrain provides a valuable opportunity each year for a graduate student editor to conceptualize, develop and produce a national literary journal focused around a specific theme.
Editors gain experience soliciting submissions, selecting and editing manuscripts for publication, working with emerging and established writers, shaping editorial and art content to support the theme, and building on Whole Terrain’s established network of activists, writers, poets, educators, policy makers, artists, and thinkers.
I served as editor for Volume 7 1998/1999: Transience, Permanence and Commitment, writing an introduction to the theme and working with such established writers as Rick Bass, David Abram, Chellis Glendinning and John Elder.
As editor for Volume 8 1999/2000: Legacy and Posterity, I wrote the introduction, interviewed performer Kaiulani Lee about her Rachel Carson play, and solicited poetry from Howard Nelson and an essay by Ann Zwinger, among others.
I also served as guest editor of Volume 9: Serious Play.
