What happens to the story when the world of the story is under attack? As trees are felled and pollinators disappear, Paige Menton painstakingly erases narrative, opening up spaces of possibility to find that “the beauty remains.” We can no longer speak the world that was; instead, in lines that inhabit the full emptiness of the page, Menton uncovers what stories may still be possible. A beautiful and haunting book that reveals the subtle ways we might speak our own ecology.
