Amy Tan & John Muir Laws

Conversations with Authors is our free virtual event series! Join us every Saturday and Sunday at 7:00pm ET/4:00pm PT for a new chat with a different author.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for joining us.  I hope that those of you who do nature journaling now feel charged to do something new this week.  And if you have never done nature journaling, I hope you’re intrigued and will let go of inhibitions and try.  It’ll give you a much-needed haven of peace.

In the meantime, here are some books I have enjoyed reading recently:

• Sparrow Envy (poems) and The Home Place: Memoirs of a Colored Man’s Love Affair with Nature by J. Drew Lanham, a naturalist, poet, birder and professor of Wildlife Biology at Clemson University
• White Feathers: The Nesting Lives of Swallows, and also Summer World by Bernd Heinrich
• Survival of the Friendliest: Understanding Our Origins and Rediscovering Our Common Humanity by Brian Hare and Vanessa Woods
• The Human Swarm: How Our Societies Arise, Thrive, and Fall by Mark Moffett
• Devotions: The Selected Poems of Mary Oliver
• Night. Sleep. Death. The Stars. by Joyce Carol Oates

Stay safe,
Amy
