The Hopes Of Snakes, And Other Tales From The Urban Landscape
Attribution
Lisa CouturierPublication Details
BookBeacon Press2005Links
Description
A debut essay collection by one of the best new nature writers “It’s been a while since I stopped being surprised by nature in New York City, which is, after all, simply a name we’ve given this landscape?a label meaningless to the birds, the turtles, the river.” As a child in suburban Maryland, Lisa Couturier spent all her time outdoors, playing with snakes and toads and exploring every inch of what nature offered. Instead, Couturier moved to New York City, and it was there that she began to see nature and all the creatures in it with new eyes. In The Hopes of Snakes, Couturier brings together the best of her essays on urban and suburban nature throughout the Northeast, from Washington, D.C., to Boston. But Couturier’s sharp eye and deep humanity have found what is so remarkable in city nature and illuminated it for readers like no one before her.
