A Darker Wilderness: Black Nature Writing from Soil to Stars Sharkey Erin
A vibrant collection of personal and lyric essays in conversation with archival objects of Black history and memory.What are the politics of nature? Does it need to be tamed? Who owns it, where is it, what role does it play in our lives?
In A Darker Wilderness, a constellation of luminary writers reflect on the significance of nature in their lived experience and on the role of nature in the lives of Black folks in the United States. Are we ourselves natural? Each of these essays engages with a single archival object, whether directly or obliquely, exploring stories spanning hundreds of years and thousands of miles, traveling from roots to space and finding rich Blackness everywhere.Erin Sharkey considers Benjamin Banneker's 1795 almanac, as she follows the passing of seasons in an urban garden in Buffalo.
