Jarod K Anderson: Something in the Woods Loves You, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

A "poignant meditation on surviving the darkest recesses of human nature . . . a lyrical love letter to how 'imaginative empathy' heals and harmonizes our relationship to ourselves, to each other, to the wonder of being alive." -The Marginalian

Bats can hear shapes, plants can eat light, and bees can dance maps. When his life took him to a painfully dark place, the poet behind The CryptoNaturalist, Jarod K. Anderson, found comfort and redemption in these facts and the shift in perspective that comes from paying a new kind of attention to nature.

Something in the Woods Loves You tells the story of the darkest stretch of a young person's life, and how deliberate and meditative encounters with plants and animals helped him see the light at every turn. Ranging from optimistic contemplations of mortality to appreciations of a single mushroom, Anderson has written a lyrical love letter to the natural world and given us the tools to see it all anew.
