Hosted by Eliza from Lost City Books, Earth Reads will explore how to live through late-capitalist global climate catastrophe from a radical lens, and how to dream new ways of being on this planet. Next up is Annie Dillard's Pilgrim at Tinker Creek
About Pilgrim at Tinker Creek:
An exhilarating meditation on nature and its seasons—a personal narrative highlighting one year's exploration on foot in the author's own neighborhood in Tinker Creek, Virginia. In the summer, Dillard stalks muskrats in the creek and contemplates wave mechanics; in the fall she watches a monarch butterfly migration and dreams of Arctic caribou. She tries to con a coot; she collects pond water and examines it under a microscope. She unties a snake skin, witnesses a flood, and plays 'King of the Meadow' with a field of grasshoppers.
