Earthkeeping: Love Notes for Tough Times
The author of Alder Music, Gary Saunders returns with an evocative, lyrical, and immersive collection of personal essays on our relationship with nature and with each other.
In nine sections, Earthkeeping ruminates on the necessity of love and earthkeeping, on forage fish and robinsongs, and on the stewardship of our ecological landscape. Offering an antidote to the world’s anxiety about climate change, plastic pollution, and biodiversity loss, Saunders writes with a deep connection to the natural world and his signature humane zest for life. Lovingly illustrated with Saunders’s own drawings, the result is a joyful, personal, and deeply attentive stroll through an enchanted land of blue and green.

A really enjoyable read. It's basically a biography of Gary's life, although not in order, and told via the lense of the earth. Being from the east coast of Canada, I found it enthralling but I don't think you need to be a Maritimer to enjoy it. If you like nature and facts about the environment then I think you will like it too.
