Description
Praise for Margaret Renklâ€s Late Migrations “Beautifully written, masterfully structured,
and brimming with insight into the natural world, Late Migrations can claim its place alongside
Pilgrim at Tinker Creek and A Death in the Family. It has the makings of an American classic.―
―Ann Patchett, author of Commonwealth '[Margaret Renkl] is the most beautiful writer! I love
this book. It's about the South, and growing up there, and about her love of nature and animals
and her wonderful family.' ―Reese Witherspoon 'A perfect book to read in the summer . . . This
is the kind of writing that makes me want to just stay put, reread and savor everything about that
moment.' ―Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh Air “A compact glory, crosscutting between
consummate family memoir and keenly observed backyard natural history. Renklâ€s deft
juxtapositions close up the gap between humans and nonhumans and revive our lost kinship with
other living things.――Richard Powers, author of The Overstory 'Magnificent . . . Conjure your
favorite place in the natural world: beach, mountain, lake, forest, porch, windowsill rooftop?
Precisely there is the best place in which to savor this book.' ―NPR.org 'Late Migrations has
echoes of Annie Dillard's The Writing Life―with grandparents, sons, dogs and birds sharing the
spotlight, it's a witty, warm and unaccountably soothing all-American story.' ―People '[Renkl]
guides us through a South lush with bluebirds, pecan orchards, and glasses of whiskey shared at
dusk in this collection of prose in poetry-size bits; as it celebrates bounty, it also mourns the
profound losses we face every day.' ―O, the Oprah Magazine 'Graceful . . . like a belated
answer to [E.B.] White.' ―Wall Street Journal 'A lovely collection of essays about life, nature,
and family. It will make you laugh, cry―and breathe more deeply.' ―Parade Magazine
“This warm, rich memoir might be the sleeper of the summer. [Renkl] grew up in the South,
nursed her aging parents, and never once lost her love for life, light, and the natural world.
Beautiful is the word, beautiful all the way through.――Philadelphia Inquirer 'Like the spirituality
of Krista Tippett's On Being meets the brevity of Joe Brainard . . . The miniature essays in Late
Migrations approach with modesty, deliver bittersweet epiphanies, and feel like small doses of
religion.'―Literary Hub 'In her poignant debut, a memoir, Renkl weaves together observations
from her current home in Nashville and short vignettes of nature and growing up in the South.―
Garden & Gun “Renkl feels the lives and struggles of each creature that enters her yard as
keenly as she feels the paths followed by her mother, grandmother, her people. Learning to accept
the sometimes harsh, always lush natural world may crack open a window to acceptance of our
own losses. In Late Migrations, we welcome new life, mourn its passing, and honor it along the
way.――Indie Next List (July 2019), selected by Kat Baird, The Book Bin '[A] stunning

collection of essays merging the natural landscapes of Alabama and Tennessee with generations
of family history, grief and renewal. Renkl's voice sounds very close to the reader's ear: intimate,
confiding, candid and alert.' ―Shelf Awareness 'A book that will be treasured.'―Minneapolis
Star Tribune 'One of the best books I've read in a long time . . . [and] one of the most beautiful
essay collections that I have ever read. It will give you chills.'―Silas House, author of
Southernmost “A close and vigilant witness to loss and gain, Renkl wrenches meaning from
the intimate moments that define us. Her work is a chronicle of being. And a challenge to cynicism.
Late Migrations is flat-out brilliant and it has arrived right on time.――John T. Edge, author of
The Potlikker Papers “Gracefully written and closely observed, Renklâ€s lovely essays are
tinged with the longing for family and places now gone while rejoicing in the flutter of birds and life
still alive.――Alan Lightman, author of Einsteinâ€s Dreams “Here is an extraordinary
mind combined with a poetâ€s soul to register our own old world in a way we have not quite
seen before. Late Migrations is the psychological and spiritual portrait of an entire family and place
presented in quick takes―snapshots―a soulâ€s true memoir. The dire dreams and fears of
childhood, the motherâ€s mysterious tears, the imperfect beloved family . . . all are part of a
charged and vibrant natural world also filled with rivalry, conflict, the occasional resolution, loss,
and delight. Late Migrations is a continual revelation.――Lee Smith, author of The Last Girls
“Renkl holds my attention with essays about plants and caterpillars in a way no other nature
writer can.――Mary Laura Philpott
