Recommendation for Fall 2020 From beloved, award-winning
poet Aimee Nezhukumatathil comes a debut work of
nonfiction―acollection of essays about the natural world,
and the way its inhabitants can teach, support, and inspire us.
As a child, Nezhukumatathil called many places home: the
grounds of a Kansas mental institution, where her Filipina
mother was a doctor the open skies and tall mountains of
Arizona, where she hiked with her Indian father and the chillier
climes of western New York and Ohio. But no matter where
she was transplanted―nomatter how awkward the fit or
forbidding the landscape―sh was able to turn to our
world’sfierce and funny creatures for guidance.
“Wht the peacock can do,”she tells us,
“isremind you of a home you will run away from and run
back to all your life.”The axolotl teaches us to smile,
even in the face of unkindness the touch-me-not plant shows
us how to shake off unwanted advances the narwhal
demonstrates how to survive in hostile environments. Even in
the strange and the unlovely, Nezhukumatathil finds beauty
and kinship. For it is this way with wonder: it requires that we
are curious enough to look past the distractions in order to fully
appreciate the world’sgifts. Warm, lyrical, and
gorgeously illustrated by Fumi Nakamura, World of Wonders is
a book of sustenance and joy.
