This was an incredible, heavy read. Would have been five stars for me but I had difficulty getting into things at the start of the book.

I was only vaguely aware of Barry Lopez’s nature writing and have never read anything by him until this essay collection. These are mostly about his career and love of nature, mentioning other authors and naturalists. However, at the end of the book, Lopez recounts the horrific sexual abuse he suffered as a child, which was a surprise to me, as I hadn’t read detailed reviews prior. Though tough to read, that section will stick with me most.
