Recommendation for Fall 2020 From beloved, award-winning

poet Aimee Nezhukumatathil comes a debut work of

nonfiction&#8213acollection 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&#8213nomatter how awkward the fit or

forbidding the landscape&#8213sh was able to turn to our

world&#8217sfierce and funny creatures for guidance.

&#8220Wht the peacock can do,&#8221she tells us,

&#8220isremind you of a home you will run away from and run

back to all your life.&#8221The 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&#8217sgifts. Warm, lyrical, and

gorgeously illustrated by Fumi Nakamura, World of Wonders is

a book of sustenance and joy.
