Description

Press release from the Waterford Public Library: February 22, 2022 This month's discussion on Friday, February 25th at 1:00 p.m. is Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer (2020)  As a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer brings these two lenses of knowledge together to take us on "a journey that is every bit as mythic as it is scientific, as sacred as it is historical, as clever as it is wise" (Elizabeth Gilbert).  Multiple copies of this title are available in the library. Our discussion facilitator is Laurie Wolfley, English Faculty at UConn, Avery Point. Thank you for supporting the Waterford Public Library!   This press release was produced by the Waterford Public Library. The views expressed here are the author's own.
