I hate to think of my favorite author enduring abuse at the hands of her zealot, Transcendentalist father. How could he actually believe that dark haired children were of the devil? I learned so much and it just makes me admire her even more. I can't wait to visit Orchard House.

This is the 3rd book in a 3 part series written as a photo elegy to the disappearing animals in East Africa. The images are beautiful and haunting, shot in black and white on medium format film in the early 00s and 2010s. Brant isn‘t just a casual observer of this environment. The intro is filled with photos of elephants that he can tell you the names of, followed by how soon after the photos were taken they were killed by poachers. 👇🏼
