Milkweed Editions and Orion Magazine - Pam Houston and Helen Whybrow in Conversation (Virtual)

Milkweed Editions and Orion Magazine invite you to a special virtual conversation with celebrated writer Helen Whybrow, author of the acclaimed memoir The Salt Stones: Seasons of a Shepherd’s Life, and bestselling author Pam Houston, whose new book Animals Taught Me Everything reflects on a lifetime of learning from the creatures who have shaped her life. On Thursday, September 17, Whybrow and Houston will discuss the shared questions at the heart of their new books—how animals become our teachers, how landscapes shape our lives, and what it means to write with deep attention to the more-than-human world. Moderated by Neal Thompson, publisher of Orion Magazine, this wide-ranging discussion will explore memoir, place, belonging, and the lessons animals teach us about ourselves, one another, and the living world.
