 "...or that sometimes he felt he was witnessing the searing of what had once been a green and verdant garden he had played in."
From Brackish, Hester Kaplan, in Creature Needs: Writers Respond to the Science of Animal Conservation, eds. Christopher Kondrich, Lucy Spelman, Susan Tacent  "He doesn't want to go," Toby said. "He needs water."
"Should rain soon," Dan said. They all looked at the cloudless peach sky. From Exodus, Ben Goldfarb, in Creature Needs: Writers Respond to the Science of Animal Conservation, eds. Christopher Kondrich, Lucy Spelman, Susan Tacent
"Survey every field as a stream of verified love
Favor every waterway as victorious result" From Transferability of Turtles, Tina Cane, in Creature Needs: Writers Respond to the Science of Animal Conservation, eds. Christopher Kondrich, Lucy Spelman, Susan Tacent  "Water, like air, is also a medium. To move through it requires a fair amount of energy and coordination; most aquatic animals have a streamlined body form and highly specialized waterproof skin (with feathers, fur, mucus, or scales). To live within it requires an internal anatomy that can withstand high pressure as well as nitrogen gas. For aquatic animals, water is everything."
From Water, Lucy Spelman, in Creature Needs: Writers Respond to the Science of Animal Conservation, eds. Christopher Kondrich, Lucy Spelman, Susan Tacent  "I am in a world. I am made of a world. I understand comfort in it and make my way through it and piece together a picture of it and feel myself safe in it (so safe I didn't even know I was in danger) and store momentary mock-ups of it and feel my body in relation to it. It is a cold fire that keeps me."
From Fire Sermon, Marco Wilkinson, in Creature Needs: Writers Respond to the Science of Animal Conservation, eds. Christopher Kondrich, Lucy Spelman, Susan Tacent |
