I learned a lot from reading this, thank you T. I am working with an activist right now who is giving a speech and asking “what am I missing?” when she’s speaking to folks experiencing poverty. Learning that nature I see as “untouched” may be deeply and strategically cared for reminded me of that - “what am I not seeing?” A new mantra for me as I look at landscapes.
Her work is incredible. Undrowned is one of the freshest books of nature writing to be published in years, and I just bought her previous book Dub! She's doing a biography of Audre Lorde next and in the section of the MS I heard her read she was drawing on tree science to help conceptualize how Lorde worked and lived. SO beautiful.
Very interesting. I love your insights. Comes back to land management (like your article a few weeks back on controlled burns in Northern Ca.) I always learn so much and somehow you are able to not sugar coat it while also sharing solution based insights which means I actually read it instead of wanting to run in the other direction feeling only terrified.
I also had relatives in Chicago who mentioned the Opera thing. FFS.
