Kathleen Dean Moore

After she lost several loved ones within a few months, Kathleen Dean Moore sought solace and comfort in ancient forests, remote deserts. wild rivers, and windswept islands. She wanted to learn what the natural word could teach her about sorrow and gladness. Wild Comfort: The Solace of Nature is a record of those experiences, a collection of carefully observed moments in her life and a profound meditation on the healing power of nature.

Hear Kathleen Dean Moore talk about Wild Comfort with TWQ producer Chérie Newman Thursday, January 27, at 6:30 p.m. (YPRadio.org) or 7:30 (MTPR.org). Moore will also read a few passages from the book and talk about her latest project, editing Moral Ground: Ethical Action for a Planet In Peril, in which more than 80 visionaries write about our ethical obligation to the future and why it's wrong to wreck the world.
