About this listen

Environmental writer Laurie King and international best-selling author Miriam Lancewood present a collection of narrative nonfiction stories and poems on the human connection with nature.

Follow the call of the wild with these incredible true stories from an international group of nature lovers, nomads, and adventurers.

You are invited to share the wisdom they gained on their wild journeys. You will:

  • Walk across the Australian desert with American explorer Angela Maxwell.
  • Live with Hamza Yassin and a family of eagles in Scotland.
  • Survive for 10 years in an Australian forest with Gregory Smith.
  • Hunt in the wilderness with Miriam Lancewood in New Zealand.
  • Chart Karl Bushby's passage through the formidable Darien Gap.
  • Set up a surf school for people of color in California with David Malana.

With a foreword from explorer Belinda Kirk and contributions from leading poets, including David Whyte and Fatimah Asghar, this book will inspire you to get out of your comfort zone and connect to your wild, animal soul.

I enjoyed some of the stories (I’m not into poetry) the ones that I did connect with were very insightful.

Some great inspiration
