\"cover6-150\"<\/a>Anticipation is growing — in my own mind, if nowhere else — for the release of The Big Picture<\/a><\/em>, which will be out on May 10. I’ve finally been able to hold the physical book in my hand, which is always a highlight of the book-writing process. And yes, there will be an audio book, which should come out the same time. I spent several days in March recording it, which taught me a valuable lesson: write shorter books.<\/p>\n

There will also be something of a short book tour, hitting NYC, DC, Boston, Seattle, and the Bay Area, likely with a few other venues to be added later this summer. For details see my calendar<\/a> page.<\/p>\n

In many ways, the book is a celebration of naturalism in general, and poetic naturalism<\/a> in particular. So to get you in the mood, here is a lovely short video<\/a> from the Mothlight Creative, which celebrates naturalism in a more visual and visceral way. “I\u00a0want to shiver with awe and wonder at the universe.”<\/p>\n
