Join us in the Bushnell-Sage Library Program Room as we discuss The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year by Margaret Renkl.

"One of Renkl's skills as a writer is to transfer her ability to perceive the nuances of the natural world, things most of us overlook, onto the page. . . .Paying attention to the living things in her backyard helps her cope with climate change, political strife and cultural upheaval--and she hopes it will help the reader, too." --New York Times

"[A] beautiful tangle of human and other-animal lives . . . Starting in winter and continuing through the seasonal round, Renkl brings alive in 52 chapters her love for the animals and plants in her half-acre yard in Tennessee and in nearby parks. Equally moving, she confesses her despair at the human-caused crises the natural world faces, and her determination not to sit idle."--NPR.org
