Stone is Stream is a collective of writers, artists, activists, committed to the environment and our place within it. Founded by Mobi Warren and Jim LaVilla-Havelin after a workshop by Kathleen Dean Moore – who talked about the way the individual can make a difference in protecting the environment, like a stone in the stream, which just being there diverts the water, even if only a little. Stone in Stream meets quarterly, has a regular presence in each issue of VOICES DE LA LUNA, and each National Poetry Month co-sponsors readings – WORDS FOR BIRDS at Mitchell Lake Audubon Center, and a water-related reading at HEADWATERS at Incarnate word.
