It is the fixed center we return to. It is just as intrinsically portable. It is, in short, the perfect metaphor for what we seek in these complex and contradictory times--set in flux by climate change, mass immigration, the refugee crisis, and the dislocating effects of technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing original contributions from some of our most cherished voices--including Terry Tempest Williams, Bill McKibben, Pico Iyer, Natasha Trethewey, Luis Alberto Urrea, and Chigozie Obioma--\u003cem\u003eHearth\u003c\/em\u003e suggests that empathy and storytelling hold the power to unite us when we have wandered alone for too long.
