SUMMARY:Nature Book Club: October
DESCRIPTION:Nature Book Club: October\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 October book is Night Magic: Adventures Among Glowworms\, Moon Gardens\, and Other Marvels of the Dark\, by Leigh Ann Henion. “In this glorious celebration of the night\, New York Times bestselling nature writer Leigh Ann Henion invites us to leave our well-lit homes\, step outside\, and embrace the dark as a profoundly beautiful part of the world we inhabit. Because no matter where we live\, we are surrounded by animals that rise with the moon\, and blooms that reveal themselves as light fades.”  \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Nature Book Club: November
DESCRIPTION:Nature Book Club: November\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 November book is Constable’s Year: An Artist in Changing Seasons. “As exhilarating as a lungful of oxygen: that’s how some of his contemporaries felt about John Constable’s paintings. Others\, though\, were baffled by his uncompromisingly fresh and realistic treatment of the natural world. Author Susan Owens follows Constable’s work and life through the seasons\, tracing the rhythms and resonances of the artist’s year to offer a vivid\, unconventional perspective on this beloved figure. “ \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER
