“To tell a story with stone is intensely to inhabit that preposition, to move from solitary individuations to ecosystems, environments, shared agencies, and companionate properties. In the interstice between boulder and granite escarpment, between ecologist and mountain… to better know stone’s ways, mineral life emerges. This vivacity is, to use Jane Bennett’s apt word, vibrant: pulsing, radiant, thrumming with possibility. (Jeffery Cohen, Stone: An Ecology of the Inhuman.)
