Things That Are by Amy Leach

4.0

In these brilliant, poetic little nature essays, Amy Leach tackles everything from jellyfish to Ursa Minor, pandas, and mayflies, and love-lies-bleeding. Lovely, lovely writing, full of unexpected metaphors and the occasional flight of fancy.

This would have been a 5-star book, but I made the mistake of reading the book cover-to-cover -- I highly recommend reading this one slowly, an essay at a time, over a week or so.
