Book launch of Cara Benson's An Armsfull of Birds: A Personal Field Guide to Love, Loss, and Commitment. The author will be in conversation with Martha Anne Toll.
An Armsfull of Birds is a literary memoir about addiction, recovery, losing a partner to suicide, and climate grief. It tells the story of developing deeply held commitments with honesty, compassion, and humor and provides timely and hopeful guidance for anyone struggling with the most urgent question facing civilization: can we commit to that which we are on the verge of losing?
"I opened it up to read the first few pages and then spent 5 hours reading the rest. Beautifully done. Poignant, human, authentic.” —Jenny Lawson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of How To Be Okay When Nothing Is Okay
"This is a book about many profound things, but one of them is healing, and in particular the healing possibilities of the physical world around us. Of course, as Benson recognizes, that healing needs to--and can--go both ways. A valuable book!" —Bill McKibben, author Here Comes the Sun
