"A startling essay collection charting the world's history through holes in the ground, rings across wood, mountains, figs, and a body's evolution. Essays move from her rural Canadian childhood to a desert in Niger, where "The Loneliest Tree in the World" once grew. Deeply thought and wholly original, Limber asks what it means to live on our inherited planet"--

“Limber pines are named for the ways they bend in the harsh winds and grow in curves around it; they slither their roots along rock faces until they find cracks they can slip into and drink from.” From my favorite essay “Burmis” in this collection that revolves around trees.

Life is both tentative and tenacious, as per this strawberry growing in an enormous boulder by our campsite.
