We inhabit a world of more than humans. For life to flourish, we
must listen to the calls this world makes on us, and respond with
care, sensitivity and judgement. That is what it means to
correspond, to join our lives with those of the beings, matters and
elements with whom, and with which, we dwell upon the earth. In
this book, anthropologist Tim Ingold corresponds with landscapes
and forests, oceans and skies, monuments and artworks. To each he
brings the same spontaneity of thought and observation, the same
intimacy and lightness of touch, but also the same affection,
longing and care that, in the days when we used to write letters by
hand, we would bring to our correspondences with one another. The
result is a profound yet accessible inquiry into ways of attending
to the world around us, into the relation between art and life, and
into the craft of writing itself. At a time of environmental
crisis, when words so often seem to fail us, Ingold points to how
the practice of correspondence can help restore our kinship with a
stricken earth.
