Description

We inhabit a world that extends beyond human life. To flourish, we must listen to the world's calls and respond with care. This means corresponding - joining our lives with the beings, matters, and elements that surround us. Anthropologist Tim Ingold explores this concept through his correspondence with landscapes, forests, oceans, and more. He brings a spontaneity of thought and observation, intimacy, and affection to each encounter, reflecting on the relation between art and life, and the craft of writing itself. In a time of environmental crisis, Ingold argues that the practice of correspondence can help us restore our connection with the earth. This profound inquiry into attending to the world around us is both accessible and thought-provoking.
