This work maps the force, vivacity, and stories within our most mundane matter, stone. For too long stone has served as an unexamined metaphor for the 'really real': blunt factuality, nature's curt rebuke. Yet medieval writers knew that stones drop with fire from the sky, emerge through the subterranean lovemaking of the elements, tumble along riverbeds from Eden, partner with the masons who build worlds with them.
