“This book is an arboretum of essays, not showcasing ‘trees’ as a class of beings, but rather stories of interspecies relationships of an arboreal kind, as diverse in scope as trees are in leaf.” — Robin Wall Kimmerer

The essays included tend to be to be future-oriented rather than too deeply entrenched in the past, though there are a few strong reminders of how unpleasant things got under previous administrations. The hope is to inspire people about what they can start doing tomorrow rather than relitigating the errors we've already made.

The lineup of writers includes Robin Wall Kimmerer, Glenis Redmond, Rebecca Solnit, Bill McKibben, Winona LaDuke, Scott Russell Sanders, Wendell Berry, Terry Tempest Williams, Sandra Steingraber, and Barbara Kingsolver. 288 pages. ...

]]> 59211 To Eat with Grace https://orionmagazine.org/product/to-eat-with-grace/ Fri, 30 May 2014 15:14:55 +0000 https://orionmagazine.org/?post_type=product&p=60579 What does it mean to “eat with grace”? The writers whose essays and poems are collected here have many answers, but they all come back to something essential: connection—with each other, with our inner selves, with the earth that sustains us. Whether foraging, baking, or gardening, digging their hands into the soil of their backyards or being seduced by the exotic fruits of a far-off place, these writers praise the sensuous and spiritual ways that our food can nourish us. As Darra Goldstein writes in her foreword, “When we eat good food, we smell and taste the earth, and thereby reconnect with it: this is what it means to eat with grace.”
