Description

Surrender is a narrative nonfiction work that blends personal memoir with reportage, exploring the changing landscape of the West and the communities inspired by it. Joanna Pocock's two-year stay in Montana informs her observations on climatic disruption, rising sea levels, animal extinctions, melting glaciers, and catastrophic wildfires.

In the style reminiscent of Barry Lopez and Annie Dillard, Pocock examines the shifting landscape through the experiences of scavenger, rewilder, and ecosexual communities. Her essay prize-winning work offers a unique perspective on the era's environmental challenges.
