SUMMARY:Nature Book Club: October
DESCRIPTION:Nature Book Club: The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating\n\n\n\nThe Brushwood Nature Book Club is a space to talk about and explore nature literature in a friendly environment. Each meeting includes discussion\, creative writing\, and art activities to engage with the themes of the chosen book\, led by Brushwood’s Poet-in-Residence Kathryn Haydon\, and writer-artist Megan Donahue.  \n\n\n\nFor our October meeting\, we’ll be reading Elisabeth Tova Bailey’s The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating. \n\n\n\nElisabeth Tova Bailey tells the inspiring and intimate story of her year-long encounter with a Neohelix albolabris—a common forest snail. While an illness keeps her bedridden\, Bailey watches as the snail takes up residence on her nightstand. Intrigued by its molluscan anatomy\, cryptic defenses\, clear decision making ability\, hydraulic locomotion\, and mysterious courtship activities\, Bailey becomes an astute and amused observer. The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating is a remarkable journey of survival and resilience\, showing us how a small part of the natural world illuminates our own human existence. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER
