Deep River Author, Naturalist Publishes New Book, Plans Events
John Muir said, “When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.” So is the case for each walk-inspired essay from Katherine Hauswirth, who lives in Deep River. Hauswirth’s meditative reveries reflect on the deep connections between what we experience outdoors and our day-to-day existence as humans, peppered with thought-provoking facts as well as treasured words from other lovers of the natural world.
“Deep River resident and author Katherine Hauswirth has written a remarkable collection of essays, The Book of Noticing: Collections and Connections on the Trail. Hauswirth’s nature writing arises largely from long walks in Connecticut, and her observations demonstrate a spry curiosity and eloquent appreciation for our natural world. She guides the reader through her beloved landscapes with a steady hand,” wrote Aspire Magazine.
