Rare Salt Water
How did the plants survive during the Noah Flood?
Many plants (seeds and all) would be killed by being submerged for a few months. This is especially true if they were soaked in salt water. Some mangroves, coconuts, and other coastal species have seed which could be expected to survive the Flood itself, but what of the rest?
Most seeds would have been buried under many feet (even miles) of sediment. This is deep enough to prevent spouting.
Most plants require established soils to grow–soils which would have been stripped by the Flood.
Some plants germinate only after being exposed to fire or after being ingested by animals; these conditions would be rare (to put it mildly) after the Flood.
Noah could not have gathered seeds for all plants because not all plants produce seeds, and a variety of plant seeds can’t survive a year before germinating. Also, how did he distribute them all over the world?
@ Fiction slayer
Surely you can’t be that ignorant
G-d built it, G-d flooded it….don’t you’all think he might be able to reseed it too???

Salt $15.77 In the poems and linked sequences of his thirty-fifth book, Jonas Zdanys transforms the landscapes he sees, imagines and remembers into new metaphorical configurations and image-patterns, all shaped by his sense of the pervasive and inescapable oneness of the things of the world. Through those transformations he creates a personal landscape in these pages, a meditative place where he is able to "tie up loose ends, understand the laws/of the universe, feel the ecstasy/that radiates from the tips of the fingers." But Zdanys does more than shape the luminous phenomena around him. His essential procedure in these poems is to reconquer the real, using unusual figurative constructs, varied forms and expressions, metaphoric eruptions, and recurring reformulated images to do so. The result is a framework of evocations, memories, mysterious suggestions, and ineffable presences that enables him to define the elemental world, that "imaginary country" ringed by flowers of salt, where "time is the only durable flesh/and lovers flow together like water." These are engaging and complex poems, carefully chiseled personal and artistic self-evaluations that seek to unite body and spirit, along the way providing a glimpse of the infinite and ending on a note of inspiration and hope. A bilingual, award-winning poet and translator, Zdanys serves as Chief Academic Officer for the State of Connecticut. |

Salt Water Amnesia $16.34 Jeffrey Skinner’s poems come at the world from many different directions. Some are outrageous and very funny, like "Experiment," which begins, "I sewed my father into a specially designed, handmade bear suit. He was indistinguishable from a real bear, and yet retained the necessary functions of a human. I also provided a G.P.S. radio collar. Then I air-dropped him into a densely forested preserve. When I returned a year later I found he had mated with an Asian black bear. He and she and their two cubs lived a quiet life in a mountain cave." In other poems, Skinner explores more familiar domestic landscapes, taking us with great tenderness and precision into the life of the human heart. By turns poignant, brainy, and hilarious, "Salt Water Amnesia" is a book that will surprise and delight. "Reading the Bay" "A calm water morning. After what was said on both sides." Don’t you talk to me that way. "My daughter." "We cannot speak, now, nor stand to touch." "The bay, covered with tiny script Moving rapidly right to left. Words Crossing over One another, whole passages Torn from an asylum diary. I lifted her" "Body, a huge flailing penknife, into the car." "A seagull sits bobbing on the text. My brother. It appears that, today at least, all language moves out to sea." Jeffrey Skinner has published four collections of poetry: "Late Stars," "A Guide to Forgetting," "The Company of Heaven," and "Gender Studies." His work has received wide recognition, including fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Ingram Merrill Foundation, and the Howard Foundation. Currently director of the creative writing program at the University of Louisville, he is also co-founder and editorial consultant for Sarabande Books. |

Sweetness of Salt $15.75 These are poems that have brought back into Indian English poetry the sumptuousness of emotions in all honesty of experience and, at the same time, are in keeping with the ancient Dravidian aesthetics. Lyricism of the spirit, of being one with the moment, of savouring the wonder of being, shines through them. The robust diction, unusual word-combinations and the ability to transform the most common into the extraordinary, set this poet apart. The affirmative resurgence of the self through Indian English poetry is best exemplified here. A J Thomas, Asst. Editor of Indian Literature; winner of the Katha Award, Hutch Crossword Award and AKMG Prize These poems come to me from a distant place and arrive at the center of the soul, the family, forest, city – where poetry is universal. Susan Bright, poet, recent titles: Breathing Under Water, The Layers of Our Seeing, publisher of Plain View Press Sweetness of Salt is hugely evocative to the senses with its exotic saffron bricks, watermelon tea, curry leaves. What moves me most is the way the poet has wrought memory work almost like wrought-iron or lattice work: his themes are familial love, and sensuous reminiscence. Of the house he was born in, he can remember: "Tile-roofed coolness / and saffron brick floor" patterned with ancestral footsteps. This is a brilliant journey well worth taking. Lynn Strongin, poet, recent titles: Dovey & Me, The Birds of the Past Are Singing and The Girl with Copper-Colored Hair MK Ajay exposes the molten lava at the center of our active volcanoes. Language erupts from below the surface in a startling explosion of burning and beauty. Pamela L. Laskin, poet, author of Remembering Fireflies, director, Poetry Outreach Center, The City College, NY Every once in a while comes a voice that sings with such clarity and vision that one needs to stop and take pause. MK Ajay’s poems emerge from the heart and explore the very depths of the soul. Lyrical, haunting, filled with light and beauty, Sweetness of Salt spans generations and reaches across cultures, binding them together like a golden thread in language that lilts and sparkles. Mike Maggio, poet, author of deMOCKracy MK Ajay serves up lush, rich language in his exotic poems, layering jarring image over dreamlike image over the present, over the past. Elaine Heveron, author of Email To Cleveland |

Between Salt Water and Holy Water Between Salt Water and Holy Water: A History of Southern Italy a History of Southern Italy $5.38 The history of southern Italy is entirely distinct from that of northern Italy, yet it has never been given its own historical due. In this authoritative and wholly engrossing history, distinguished scholar Tommaso Astarita "does a masterful job of correcting this error" (Mark Knoblauch, Booklist). From the Normans and Angevins, through Spanish and Bourbon rule, to the unification of Italy in 1860, Astarita rescues the South from the dustier folds of history and restores it to sparkling life. We are introduced to the freethinking, cosmopolitan King Frederick, who conferred with Jewish and Muslim philosophers; to Masaniello, "the fisherman of Naples," who inspired artists and revolutionaries across Europe; and to the colorful religious observances, diverse population, ancient ruins, beautiful landscapes, sweet music, and magnificent art-all of which inspired visitors to claim that one had to "see Naples, and then die." |

The Taste of Salt $4.07 Award-winning novelist Martha Southgate (who, in the words of Julia Glass, can write fat and hot, then lush and tender, then just plain truthful and burning with heart ) now tells the story of a family pushed to its limits by addiction over the course of two generations. Josie Henderson loves the water and is fulfilled by her position as the only senior-level black scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. In building this impressive life for herself, she has tried to shed the one thing she cannot: her family back in landlocked Cleveland. Her adored brother, Tick, was her childhood ally as they watched their drinking father push away all the love that his wife and children were trying to give him. Now Tick himself has been coming apart and demands to be heard. Weaving four voices into a beautiful tapestry, Southgate charts the lives of the Hendersons from the parents first charmed meeting to Josie ‘s realization that the ways of the human heart are more complex than anything seen under a microscope. |
