Featuring vivid, visionary stories, Wild Chorus reveals a world filled with inspiring lessons of kinship, connection, and living in the present.

Brenda Peterson does it once again! In a period of time in which so many people feel alienated from nature, she seamlessly draws us into the fascinating worlds of a wide variety of nonhuman animal beings so that we can experience what life is like for them and how, when we open up our senses and hearts to what they're saying to one another and to us, we can easily rewild ourselves and feel at one with the magnificent animals with whom we share our awe-inspiring planet.

Wild Chorus is a heart song of lyric writing, deep tenderness, and more-than-human wisdom. Through her extraordinary and transformative encounters with animals from wolves to whales, animal adept Brenda Peterson affirms the vital and vivid connections between us and the rest of creation, connections that keep the world alive. This book is beautiful, brave, and important. Brava!
