Cascadia Field Guide: Art, Ecology and Poetry

Elizabeth Bradfield shares stories and poems from this paradigm-shifting approach to the field guide co-edited by Bradfield, Derek Sheffield, and CMarie Fuhrman.  Cascadia Field Guide welcomes many ways of knowing: scientific, artistic, sensory, poetic, traditional, cultural, and more. This book, which has been on the bestseller list of the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association nearly every week since it launched and which was a finalist in the “Fiction and Poetry” category at the Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival is called “a ‘feel guide’ to an extraordinary place” by J. Drew Lanham and described by Robin Wall Kimmerer thus: “There are field guides that help us to see, and to name and to know. Cascadia does all of that and more. This is a guide to relationships. These illuminating pages are a gift in reciprocity for the gifts of the land.” Liz will talk about how the book was developed, read a few excerpts and show a few artworks created for the book, and gladly be in conversation with you.
