Gretchen Ernster Henderson writes across environmental arts, cultural humanities, integrated sciences, and embodied social practices with a current focus on watersheds. Her fifth book, Life in the Tar Seeps: A Spiraling Ecology from a Dying Sea (Trinity University Press 2023), has been seeping into Dear Body of Water: a poetic water-harvesting project inviting people to write postcard-sized love letters to bodies of water to grow a chorus and cultivate care for watersheds across the globe. Having lived across ecosystems, she is indebted to the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and many bodies of water between. Gretchen is the incoming Spence L. Wilson Distinguished Professor in the Humanities at Rhodes College in Memphis, TN, near the Mississippi River. For more about Gretchen, visit here.
