Especially amidst the flames. I'm grateful for it.\"--Rick Bass, author of \u003ci\u003eWith Every Great Breath\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom celebrated poet and ecologist Katherine Larson, an elegant collection of lyric essays that embraces fractures, contradictions, and the interconnectedness of life on Earth. Raising two children, coping with pandemic isolation, and grappling with the magnitude of the current extinction crisis, Katherine Larson finds herself in need of an antidote for despair. This is when Larson encounters kintsugi--the art of repairing broken pottery with gold-dusted lacquer. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWedding of the Foxes\u003c\/i\u003e borrows from this ancient practice to create a new interpretative framework, one that seeks beauty in both breakage and unexpected connections. Here, Larson juxtaposes the elaborate courtship dance of sandhill cranes with scientific reports on diminishing avian populations to shed light on the urgency of climate crisis. She braids the wisdoms of a wonderfully varied range of forebears and predecessors--Gaston Bachelard, Tawada Yōko, Francis Ponge--who share her dream of a liberated consciousness. She weaves Susan Sontag's examinations of cinematic disaster with the legacy of Godzilla to highlight nature as both savior and destroyer, and she writes letters to Japanese women writers whose work has taught her new ways of being. Each of these disparate parts come together to highlight the beauty in \"what falls through the cracks and blurs into other moments.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrimming with the dazzling yet fragile relationships we share with each other and with other species, these lush microcosms invite us to embrace resilience and mindfulness--and the illuminating truth of our connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKatherine Larson\u003c\/b\u003e is a poet, essayist, molecular biologist, and field ecologist.
