We live in an astounding world of relations. We share these ties that bind with our fellow humans and we share these relations with nonhuman beings as well. From the bacterium swimming in your belly to the trees exhaling the breath you breathe this community of life is our kin and for many cultures around the world being human is based upon this extended sense of kinship. Kinship: Belonging in a World of Relations is a lively series that explores our deep interconnections with the living world. The five Kinship volumes Planet Place Partners Persons Practice offer essays interviews poetry and stories of solidarity highlighting the interdependence that exists between humans and nonhuman beings. More than 70 contributors including Robin Wall Kimmerer Richard Powers David Abram J. Drew Lanham and Sharon Blackie invite readers into cosmologies narratives and everyday interactions that embrace a more - than - human world as worthy of our response and responsibility. How do cultural traditions narratives and mythologies shape the ways we relate or not to other beings as kin? Partners Volume 3 of the Kinship series looks to the intimate relationships of respect and reverence we share with nonhuman species. The essayists and poets in this volume explore the stunning diversity of our relations to nonhuman persons from biologist Merlin Sheldrake's reflections on microscopic fungal networks to writer Julian Hoffman's moving stories about elephant emotions and communication to Indigenous seed activist Rowen White's deep care for plant relatives and ancestors. Our relationships to other creatures are not merely important; they make us possible. As poet Brenda C rdenas inspired by her cultural connections to the monarch butterfly notes in this volume: We are / one life passing through the prism / of all others gathering color and song.

The Center brings together philosophers ecologists artists political scientists anthropologists poets and economists among others to think creatively about a resilient future for the whole community of life.
