While browsing a Stonington, Maine, bookstore, Brooke Williams
and Terry Tempest Williams discovered a rare copy of an exquisite
autobiography by nineteenth-century British nature writer Richard
Jefferies, who develops his understanding of a "soul-life" while
wandering the wild countryside of Wiltshire, England. Brooke and
Terry, like John Fowles, Henry Miller, and Rachel Carson before,
were inspired by the prescient words of this visionary writer, who
describes ineffable feelings of being at one with nature. In an
introduction and essays set alongside Jefferies' writing, the
Williams share their personal pilgrimage to Wiltshire to understand
this man of "cosmic consciousness" and how their exploration of
Jefferies deepened their own relationship while illuminating
dilemmas of modernity, the intrinsic need for wildness, and what it
means to be human in the twenty-first century.
Terry Tempest Williams is the author of fourteen books including
"Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place" and "When Women
Were Birds." Recipient of numerous fellowships and awards, she
teaches at Dartmouth and the University of Utah where she is the
Annie Clark Tanner scholar in the environmental humanities graduate
program. Her work has been anthologized and translated
worldwide.
Brooke Williams has spent thirty years advocating for wildness,
most recently with the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance and as
executive director of the Murie Center in Moose, Wyoming. He is the
author of four books including "Halflives: Reconciling Work and
Wildness," and dozens of articles. Brooke and Terry have been
married since 1975. They live with their dogs in Jackson, Wyoming,
and Castle Valley, Utah.

Francisco Chronicle"
