Find myself reading this astonishing novel for the fourth time. “…here was nothing more luminous than another & nothing more enshadowed & in the optical democracy of such landscapes all preference is made whimsical & a man & a rock become endowed with unguessed kinship.”

We're familiar with the idea of eye-witnessing, much less so that of ear-witnessing. Fascinating interview between poet Erin Robinsong & the great bioacoustician Bernie Krause abt the "great animal orchestra" & earwitnessing biodiversity loss over 50 yrs. https://t.co/7gmXcfIy2M

“We're deep in ‘salt-water syndrome’: the things we’re using to cure our hunger & thirst are making us hungrier & thirstier." Richard Powers––writer of The Overstory & so much more––is fascinating as ever in this new interview with @india_bourke. https://t.co/QIBrcV4KJP

Superb interview with the great @GhoshAmitav, who calls on storytellers "to lead us in the necessary work of collective reimagining: decentering human narratives & re-centering stories of the land." The Nutmeg's Curse, which I read last month, is so good. https://emergencemagazine.org/interview/beings-seen-and-unseen/

Folks––it's pub. day for @robbiecowen's The Heeding, illustrated by @nickhayesillus1. Honestly, it's *such* a book. 35 poems arising from the past year. Moving, beautiful work. Find it, read it. @TimDee4 says it all better than I can, right here. 👇 https://t.co/UIUgCwSl5w https://t.co/eRmEznmBwZ

Amid the horrors, a little hope: Lee Schofield’s fascinating, important book, Wild Fell—abt the changes for the good that have happened in a Lake District valley—is published this week. The thread below walks you wonderfully into its landscapes & ideas. Follow Lee, find the book. https://t.co/SAFVpeCQUF

Thinking-writing about rivers today, as most days rn. Returning to Raymond Carver's late poem, 'Where Water Comes Together With Other Water'. Here's how it ends: "...It pleases me, loving rivers. Loving them all the way back to their source. Loving everything that increases me." https://t.co/U9DzXOOsTN
