purplepenning 's review for:
A thoroughly lovely introduction or reintroduction to 25 nature writers with gorgeous design elements throughout!
Kathryn Aalto's running narrative sets the perfect tone for the short prose, poetry, and essay excerpts shared from each writer. I can see "Writing Wild" featured on a coffee table, in college coursework, as a nonfiction book club pick, as a travel/nature-related gift, and ― most assuredly ― as a refreshing volume to dip in and out of during a quarantine when you desperately need an expansion of perspective and a mental ramble in unreachable fields. What a breath of fresh air!
I particularly appreciated the further reading sections and how they're thoughtfully themed and grouped after each writer. They transform this into a bibliographic resource that features far more than the 25 writers who are officially profiled. I'm not sure any reader could make it through this volume without adding several new writers or titles to their TBR lists!
My thanks to #NetGalley and Timber Press for a digital ARC of #WritingWild.
