In the Woods
The Forest Bubble
A sphere that stays on the ground
William Vincent Carleton
When breath and tree match on a morning walk, the day makes a bubble: round, definite, and open at the bottom into the earth. This In the Woods book is about a field with a floor, keeping calm without fear of fullness, and looking at what does not break: morning, hunger, kindness, the return of a bird. A gentle book about ease, rest and feeling at home.
