The brilliant magazine Guernica just came out with a special issue on the Boundaries of Nature. I think about this a lot, perhaps too much. And when the editors approached me about contributing I’d just returned from a trip to my old beloved forest in Oregon, and to a gathering of EcoModernists in Sausalito, and still my mind spun back to clutching falcons in New York City. All wove together into this essay. Thanks, Guernica.
