April in Utah is all about change, newness, and growth.
This month we’ll focus on the theme of exploration, both outward and inward, reflecting on the landscapes here in Moab as well as those within.
Many wonderful authors have dedicated their lives to weaving that connection between wilderness and the soul and we`ll be highlighting titles throughout April that we love.
First: last night, our favorite library hosted the world premiere of Brooke Williams` new book, Encountering Dragonfly: Notes on the Practice of Re-Enchantment
Following dragonflies into the territory between nature and the human psyche.
`Encountering Dragonfly is his account--related in a series of odonate encounters--of being drawn into a different kind of relationship with the natural world. By opening himself to the personal and mytho-poetic meanings of dragonfly, and patiently courting an understanding of these creatures that is built upon, but also transcends, a naturalist`s observation, Brooke has come to believe in the importance of `re-enchantment.`
