SUMMARY:Nature Book Club: April
DESCRIPTION:Nature Book Club: April\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/or 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\nOur April book will be The Place of Tides\, by James Rebanks. This is a magical work of nonfiction in which James Rebanks reflects on a life-changing summer spent on a remote island off the coast of Norway\, where his only companion was an old woman who practiced the ancient tradition of collecting eiderdown from birds that nest on this remarkable landscape each year.  \n\n\n\nIt is the story of a unique and ancient landscape\, and of the woman who brought it back to life. It traces the pattern of her work from the rough\, isolated toil of bitter winter to the elation of the endless summer light\, when the birds leave behind their precious down for gathering\, like feathered gold. \n\n\n\nSlowly\, Rebanks begins to understand that this woman and her world are not what he had previously thought. What began as a journey of escape becomes an extraordinary lesson in self-knowledge and forgiveness. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER
