Warmly, The Wild - Paperback

by Emily Iris Degn (Author)

Warmly, The Wild is a love letter to nature, from nature. Written over the course of many years spent outside while exploring the continental U.S. and Canada, the collection reflects on humankind's relationship to wildness. Centered on interconnection, the poems tell stories like parking lot trees being just as wild as protected national parks, bring attention to disappearing landscapes, ask questions about urban greenery, and conjure up visions of a childhood spent in the great outdoors. The poetry delves into terrains that raised us and the way that a sense of place defines who we end up becoming. Warmly, The Wild, at its core, is a meditation on the tether between humankind and nature, which, in the end, are the same.
