pickHelen faces 2 life-changing events at once:sudden death of her father & lifelong dream of training a goshawk. Her emotional struggles were like my own after losing my father suddenly‘, making this book very special to me. Wished she had stuck with her story (not on to White‘s failure at falconry.)The rawness of grief and the strange ways we try to heal hit home. A perfect read for a nature lover and/or someone with unresolved losses. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickPer the usual, I'm hampered from a completely fair judgement of any work of poetry by my varying levels of reading comprehension. A collection including many poets means even more variance in my ability to understand, to feel that I fully received the message the poet meant to capture, or that I found something for myself within the poem.

Traci Brimhall another candidate in this collection, love her way with words enough to look up her other poetry.
Gorgeous use of words, might have to look up more Dorianne Laux after this collection.
pickI‘ve recently decided that I like audiobooks if I‘ve read the book before and the narrator is very good. That definitely applies to this book. I loved hearing Wall Kimmerer‘s words in her own voice.
Also spotted while #birdwatching: Four otters. This was the best pic I could take.
pickMore personal, but just got my first tattoo and have to acknowledge the book that renewed my love for mushrooms. Entangled Life has contributed so much to my love of science and fungi, and nonfiction in general.
#BookHaul part 1 from #indie #BookstoreOneSarasota - lots of #nature and #birding 😊
