The best of contemporary nature writing from the winners of the
inaugural international Nature Chronicles Prize. The Nature
Chronicles Prize is a new biennial, international, English-language
literary award founded to celebrate engaging, unique, essay-length
non-fiction that responds to the time we are in and the world as it
is. Conceived in 2020 to mark the global pandemic, the prize is
also a memorial to Prudence Scott, a lifelong nature diarist who
died in 2019. Contained within this volume are the outstanding
shortlisted entries for the inaugural prize. These winning works
express diverse responses to our planet and its life, and together
embody the best of contemporary nature writing, whether by emerging
or established authors. The anthology is introduced by bestselling
nature writer Kathryn Aalto, who was one of the prize judges.
In the style of Barry Lopez, Annie Dillard, and Eula Biss,
Surrender explores the changing landscape of the American West and
the radical environmental movements that have taken root in
response to the increasingly urgent climate crisis. Blending
personal memoir with insightful reportage and vivid nature writing,
award-winning author and essayist Joanna Pocock investigates the
changing landscape of the West and the radical environmental
movements that have taken root in the Mountain States. She
witnesses the annual tribal bison hunt near Yellowstone National
Park, where she meets a scavenger community honing ancestral
skills. She joins Finisia Medrano, a transgender rewilder who for
many years has been living on the “hoop,” following her food
source by seasonal migration. She attends the Ecosex Convergence
— an annual gathering of people who place their relationship with
the earth above everything else — and attends a workshop led by
Reverend Teri Ciacchi, a sexologist, priestess of Aphrodite, and
holistic spiritual healer in the Living Love Revolution Church.
Surrender is a keen and compelling examination of the outsider
eco-cultures blossoming in the new American West in an era of
increasing climatic disruption, rising sea levels, animal
extinctions, melting glaciers, and catastrophic wildfires.
