Warmth: Coming of Age at the End of the World by Daniel Sherrell

emotional hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

4.5

beautifully written, piercingly emotional: so accessible, so earnest, so intelligent, so lyrical. the prose is top notch and though the content isn't like, groundbreakingly original it is the way it is written, the way that hope and despair and desperation and desire and shame and selfconsciousness are all a part of the story. reading this made me feel the same way reading Braiding Sweetgrass did.

To live in the Anthropocene is to realize that your attention must be broadened far beyond the bounds of your individual circumstance--expanded to encompass people, species, objects, and eras with which you are both utterly unfamiliar and inextricably bound.

((it feels like the synthesis of my fall 2021 semester: dynamic earth plus art of the anthropocene plus beautiful world where are you))
