City Creatures
The Center for Humans and Nature runs a City Creatures blog exploring the relationship between people and creatures in the urban environment. I’ve written a number of pieces for their blog and was pleased when they asked me to contribute an essay for their anthology of nature writing, published by the University of Chicago Press. Edith was once quoted as saying that we must get closer to animals in order to understand the human soul — I believe this to be true.
