Digging to the Roots
2015Calendar
Writers Rising Up to Defend Place, Natural Habitat, Wetlands is a 501 (c) (3) literary non-profit based in Eden Prairie. The Elizabeth Fries Ellet Interpretive Trail was a four year project the non-profit undertook to create a permanent guide to Eden Prairie’s history and natural biomes in a 125 acre stretch of untouched prairie, big woods, sedge meadow, oak savanna and bottomland forest. Writers Rising Up has partnered with the Arboretum on writing workshops and readings related to place and natural habitat with Minnesota writers Carol Bly, Bill Holm, Paul Gruchow, Deborah Keenan, Joyce Sutphen and Michael Dennis Browne. Writers Rising Up encourages a deeper understanding and participation in environmental stewardship. Through the literary arts at community events, contests, workshops, literary performances, interpretive installations and publications, our focus is on nature education and writing. We promote writers who associate their work to cultural, spiritual and social connections to place, the land, natural habitat, including flora, fauna and wetlands. We welcome program support from the community. Writers Rising Up is a 501(c) (3) public charity. Contributions are tax deductible under 170 of the Code. Writers Rising Up is also qualified to receive tax deductible bequests, devises, transfers of gifts under section 2055, 2106 or 2522 of the Code. Writers Rising Up™ is registered with the US Patent and Trademark Office for educational services, namely literary contests, competitions, and events for writers to submit and perform literary interpretations related to place, culture, natural habitat, wetlands.

January at the Harbor
Every fall we put a red net around the slipwhere all the sailboats had dockedand now had been hauled awayby trailers to their homesfor the ice comes quick and thickand by January the ice might shear and ripthe underside of the boats like a knifeused for gutting fish.
The ice knows its turnlike a sailor knows when to lower the sailsbefore an unexpected gale.
During winter the boats will dreamand all the troubles in the world will sail byreflected on clear waters that are never choppybut smooth as the sky full of gullswhose singing sounds like laughing.

Ina Roy-FadermanSunnyvale, California
Ina Roy-Faderman: I received formal creative writing training through the English Department at Stanford University. My poetry has appeared or will be appearing in Pif Magazine, Writer’s Digest Magazine, Right Hand Pointing, Clade Song, and Punchnel’s. While writing, I snuck in an M.D. (Stanford) and a Ph.D. in philosophy (Berkeley). Currently, I live near San Francisco, where I teach for the Philosophy Department at Oregon State University, herd my unruly family, write, and drink a lot of coffee.
Love Songs From DogsI. My paws write on miles of white lake our friendship papers.
II. You ready your skin.In the gloves, the coat, your hat, I breathe scents of you.
III. Your wheels and skis singwhee, and we run together,great pack of three.
IV. Here be dogs, these great, small, silent, wuffling,furred shelters of joy.
P.S. Dog says hello
Got your postcard from Titan,a picture of an ethane lakereflecting thick, gaseous waves: Had fun, rode a methane wind, slid the ice pebble plains,swam the swamp aquifer. Even saw a sunbeam.Having a great time, wish you were here.
Directions
“At the end of the street, turn north,” she said,and suddenly, I became a cow, my brain as blank and smooth as a sheet.Without you, I revert to the well-worn pathways my muscles know, the landmarks my eyes remember – five glass blades bent, the rut that becomes a slop of mud in winter.I need the 7-11, the square corner office building spraypainted with red scrolls, the huddle of myrtle saplings in the median – familiars, as magical as a witch’s cat.On the way to the party,I see a man and a dog,neither leading the other , the leash a line connecting two dots, saying, here are related things.The dog is purposeful, nose forward,the man, upright.They need no directions – here is where they are going,and here is where they are.

Maureen LeubaPeoria,Illinois
Maureen lives with her husband, their three sons, and Zoey, the wonderdog in Peoria, IL. Her children have been her inspiration to create stories full of fantasy and fun for the past 17 years. She has only recently begun sharing her writing with others, after overcoming a battle with cancer.
Frozen
Crystals frolic in frigid crevices. Rays of light creep in to play. Yearning to be released;From this prison, this looking glass.This mesmerizing prism. Yet, holding back to behold winter’s beauty.A peace surrounds.Frozen in time in an alabaster glow.Desperately clinging.Cherishing each moment; holding on. A spectrum of light surrounds.Mighty incandescence beamsthrough translucent melting frost.
Watching as others linger.
Watching as others fall. Warmth and tranquility overcome.Luminous droplets plunge from hues of brilliance.Tempo quickens with the promise of spring.It is time for the thaw;For life renewal.

APRIL 2015Soaring the Sky
Fearlessly, she steersinto the light,assails it with full strength,resiliency and grace.She lifts, she soars,she rides the wind,glides through the clouds,through sun-dropsever wideninginto dawn.Triumphantly,she thrusts her wings above the tree line,the prairiesand the plains,drinks deep the viewof wetlands,rivers, streams. This is her universe,her sky, her glowing sun.

Late bloomers
I see them nodding from the shady edgesof the road that brought you home—these tall Waterleaf blooms, corollasbursting like fireworks frozen in time, leaves sprinkled with silvery traces of tears.
Bright against fields of early meadow rue shaped like children’s outstretched hands, they may have witnessed your early years as a lawyer, and spied upon youand your first love, Ann Rutledge, courting from the dappled shade of a woodland garden.
Some say you were also a late bloomer—president only after years of struggle,you towered over a nation in need.Like these wildflowers, which perhapspealed like bells upon the passingof your funeral procession, your colorsbloomed late and faded early, but left potent seeds on strong stems scattered wide like stars on summer fields.

JUNe 2015Honeysuckle Summer
All it takes is one easy breeze from those soft blossoms,trumpeting the fragrance
of their glorious song,and I’m right back there
in a honeysuckle summerfeeling loved, at peace,
at home, where I belong.
I catch just a whiff drifting in the air.
Time suddenly has no boundaries.I’m gliding in the porch swing.
Calico is curled, purring in a chair.It’s 1973 again.
I haven’t got a worry.Not a problem, not a care.
If only it were so simpleto return to the past,
but the blossoms are fleeting.The summers never last.

Munching
I have just now arrived at this viciouslatticework of munch.These holes are others’ leavings, their residue – proof that they were here before me, feeding, chomping, taking crueldelight in nature’s bounty,its bumper cropof green.While it may seem there’s green enoughfor all of us, were I to graze this sumptuous, verdantbanquet, it would destroy this lush green feast,for others and for all.

ground
s’s curving
from the ground up, a trellis
fragrant with roses, smelling of
golden, pink, white, and red,
of fields of purple loosestrife,
of morning glories, of sweetpeas,
and necklaces of Concord grapes.
Pendants of still-green tomatoes
growing heavy, growing
heavier, headed towards Fall,
up-ended U-turn,
ivy arching back towards
the earth it came from, a
sukkah of words, a harvest
holding us in the moment
of this transient penultimate season.

Dennis DrippsPhoenix,Arizona
Dennis Dripps writes and photographs life in Arizona. From the deep inspiring sunsets to the heat of the desert, the simplicity of the land creates a world filled with discovery. Dennis currently works at Arizona State University, and is an alumnus of Nebraska Wesleyan University. He is beautifully distracted by his family and his two dogs. He writes a weekly Tales from the Bus, as he chronicles his daily journey through the public transportation system and the amazing people that he meets.
The beams of light, just barely visible as the sun tips its hand,
creating spotlights of color only visible to me as I walk along with the flow of the river.
The darkness taking its leave.
Orange, yellow and red waking up with the song of the morning dove.
And the crunching of the leaves beneath my feet telling the story of the triumph of the summer, the story of a struggle, and the feast of the eyes.
The swirling of the water, bubbles escaping gently into the morning mist and the hint of light bouncing off the water taking me back to the valley where I grew up.
My old bones, chilled with the hint of days to come, take me further into the forest, to the trees where my stories came to life.
Where I watch them bow to the greatness that unfolds before me as the wind flips the tuff of my hair and the dance of the leaves begins all over again.

November leaveson the trees in the valley,form balls of rust, smoke, and fog.They are crumbling, disintegrating,turning into wisps, swirling away,leaving behind desolate trunksof black, silver, and brown.The trees wield their brancheslike swords.They are the guardians,the last defenseagainst the advancing winter.They are the final holdoutbefore the attack.The snow, the ice,the blasts of cold air--they are coming.The trees brace at attention.They are ready.

belongingsLingering near a window’s tense twilight,I want to welcome winter’s first snowwithout dread. Its chill and light dust makes me think of housekeeping,the way I push things around day today, saving stuff that’s seemingly weightless— floating stacks of paper,of books, of letters that matter in the waysknowing a second language matters. I want transparency that slides side-ways, like a skin of ice on the cat’swater dish left on the porch. To see what’s beneath the surface:A little madness, a little grief,a strange collection of no two things alike— I want to store that inmy house of footnotes when I canno longer see the snow covered road.
