Nature Writing

[Anonymous No.6245862]

Lets have a nature writing thread!!

I recently read "the peregrine" by j. a. baker.

fantastic use of language for what could be fairly dry subject matter and I find it hilarious that most modern ornithologists doubt that he had any significant contact with peregrine falcons and essentially made half of it up.
tremendous

Anyone else into people writing about nature.

I will give you some Portuguese names. Cesário Verde and Alberto Caeiro(Fernando Pessoa's heteronim). Both poets really connected with nature.

I will take your portuguese names and use google to investigate them.
thank you.


Anybody read "H is for Hawk" by helen macdonald. Its a biographical book about how the author trained a goshawk to try and deal with the grief of the death of her father.
There seems to be a fair amount of hype surrounding it since it won the Samuel Johnson prize for non-fiction last year.

I'd quite like to read it.

No I haven't and after hearing an interview with her in NPR where she read an excerpt I never will. Both her and the book seem absolutely insufferable.
