Since IML’s humble erratic beginnings, the graphic symbol of the Mantis mascot has reverently danced across our newsletters, our logo, the watermarks of the website, the original interiors of our books, and now throughout this site. The hunter, the trickster god, the praying mantis is known to shoot arrows of truths through the magical stories of the Kalahari Bush-men-and-women. For as long as they can remember, Mantis has been auspiciously inspiring the mythological myths of these First People, the hunter-gatherers who nomadically walk the earth whenever they can, as our nomad authors write their way through life on the borders of civilization.
