Talking Leaves Back Issue Sets Available

For more than a decade, Talking Leaves enjoyed bioregional, national, and international distribution, first as a journal of "deep ecology and spiritual activism" (in its early days in Eugene) and then as a journal of "our evolving ecological culture" (when Lost Valley Educational Center became publisher). Talking Leaves featured articles, interviews, stories, poems, reviews, reflections, and artwork from contributors both well-known and little-known, including Dolores LaChapelle, David James Duncan, Winona LaDuke, John Seed, Helena Norberg-Hodge, Pete Seeger, Chellis Glendinning, Paul Hawken, Joanna Macy, Al Gore, Cathrine Sneed, Alan Kapuler, Nancy Roth, David Orr, Diana Leafe Christian, Dennis Martinez, Tammy Davis, Bob Dylan, Dianne Brause, Ernest Callenbach, Katsi Cook, Ethan Hughes, Amy Martin, David Kupfer, Devon Bonady, Rick Valley, Hannah McCargar, editor Chris Roth, and dozens more.

We are now offering complete sets of all available Talking Leaves back issues, dating from 1996 through 2006: 29 issues in all, each covering a specific theme (listed below), numbering 1536 pages in total. The magazines are housed in an attractive Talking Leaves-themed cardboard holder. A limited number of sets are available for $49 per set, or $58 including shipping. (We estimate the actual value at three times that price, but don't want cost to prevent readers from having these.) Talking Leaves won a number of grants and was voted "Best Local 'Zine" in the Eugene Weekly readers' poll. These are the last available copies, and we want to put them into the hands of people who will appreciate them. We are also happy to send them to libraries, schools, friends, etc.--just let us know where to mail them, and whose name to put on the sponsorship/gift card. Please order them while you can! Thank you!
