<p><b><span>Acclaimed poet and translator Dan Beachy-Quick offers this newest addition to the Seedbank series: a warm, vivid rendering of the earliest Greek intellects, inviting us to reconsider writing, and thinking, as a way of living meaningfully in the world.</span></b></p><p><b><span> </span></b><span>“We have lost our sense of thinking as the experience that keeps us </span><i>in </i><span>the world,” writes Beachy-Quick, and the figures rendered in </span><i>The Thinking Root</i><span>—Heraclitus, Anaximander, Empedocles, Parmenides, and others—are among the first examples we have in Western civilization of thinkers who used writing as to record their impressions of a world where intuition and observation, and spirit and nature, have yet to be estranged. In these pages, we find clear-eyed ideas searching for shapes and forms with which to order the world, and to reveal our life in flux.</span></p><p
