Seeking refuge, becoming a tree with Marina Richie, author of ‘Feathered Forest: Aloft with Birds in Ancient Trees’
This week on The Write Question, host Lauren Korn speaks with Marina Richie, author of Feathered Forest: Aloft with Birds in Ancient Trees (Chelsea Green Publishing), a text that interweaves memoir and notes on ecology to create “a symphony of birdsong,” one that lyrically expounds on not only the vital relationship between birds and trees, but also the interconnectedness, the kinship, between us all.

It was partly by scrabbling up tree trunks and leaping into branches that feathered dinosaurs realized the dream of flight. [...Richie’s] sustained attention reveals the identities and personalities of living creatures and illuminates subtle weaves of intersecting histories and energies.” There is so much in this relatively slim volume (and so much to love) from the woman who brought us Halcyon Journey.
