Dip: Wild Swims from the Borderlands | Andrew Fusek Peters
2 posts
In Dip, Andrew Fusek Peters describes an extraordinary year of wild swimming. He leads us to rivers, lakes, waterfalls and hidden pools, into untamed landscapes that have the potential to surprise and move us in unexpected ways. Following in the wake of great writers such as Richard Jefferies and Edward Thomas, Dip combines meditations on place, history and myth with sharp observation and a poet's eye. As he takes the plunge and immerses himself in the elements, Andrew also begins to surface from a deep depression, making Dip at once a personal journey and about the many ways in which wild water and nature can restore us to ourselves.

Subtitled "Wild Swims From the Borderlands", this has been on my TBR for a long, long time. Maybe 2021 is the year I finally read it! Anyone else have those long-haul TBRs you just never seem to get around to? #InTheWild #WindsOfMarch

Andrea313 @JamieArc "Books About Swimming" sounds like a new genre I need to get into! Do you have a favorite or two to recommend? 4y
JamieArc @Andrea313 Why yes I do! I‘ll tag them. 4y

JamieArc This is fiction, but surrounds a public pool. It got me through a period during the pandemic when I couldn‘t swim and was craving it. 4y

JamieArc Lastly, I just read Wintering by Katherine May, and in different parts she talks about swimming, and those parts have stuck with me. 4y
