Description
After Ithaca: Journeys in Deep Time
This non-fiction work is part memoir, part essay, and part travelogue that follows a real-life journey of descent into a world on the brink of crisis. The author's travels take her to various locations, including the Peruvian rainforest, Suffolk towns, Japan, France, Australia, and more.
The book explores four initiatory tasks set by Venus, the goddess of love and justice, which map this search for meaning and coherence in a time of fall. Each chapter begins with a memory of place as a clue to the investigation, uncovering themes such as the recovery of a relationship with wild nature and being human.
