"irreplaceable is a chorus of praise swelling with love for our Great Salt Lake. By some reports,1700 square miles would be the size of the fully restored lake; the lake bed is approximately 2200 square miles. At well over 2500 lines, the size of this poem is a prayer for Great Salt Lake's full restoration. We present this text as a polyphonic love-letter to our imperiled beloved.
Poetry is a call to pay attention and what we attend to grows. Although we know that even an epic poem cannot save the lake alone, we believe in poetry's power to transform a culture of apathy and disdain into one defined by reverence for life. By turning our hearts and faces toward the lake, we may also save ourselves." From the Editor.
