Short Biography:

Critical Description of Work:
Nature, Raymond Williams observed, is one the most slippery terms in the English language. With my writing I seek to restore words to things ? that is, to clarify the terms of our relationship to the object world and to one another. I don?t believe we can save the world through nature writing. What all good writing does, however, is renew perceptions. From there, we can trust others to act.
