Reclaiming the West

Erosion: Essays of Undoing by Terry Tempest Williams
Publication Date - October 8, 2019
4 stars

I made the mistake, when I first started this book, of trying to read through the essays quickly.  In doing this, I not only missed out on the author's beautiful writing but the message began to feel repetitive.  Once I slowed down, savoring one or two essays in a sitting, I really starting to connect emotionally with the writing.  Two in particular; "The Council of Pronghorn" and her interview with Tim DeChristopher are mesmerizing.  Even read spread out some of the essays still felt redundant, but this is a collection I will be thinking about for months to come.  I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
