Mother Nature

March 21st marks the beginning of spring (at least for the inhabitants of the Northern Hemisphere)! The warbling of mating birds, budding of rejuvenated trees, babbling of the river thawing under the first warm rays of sunshine… Immerse yourself in the reviving countryside with this collection featuring great artists and beloved composers. The awakening nature has constantly stimulated the composers’ creativity, from the medieval songs of reverdie celebrating the arrival of spring to the great Romantic works magnifying the deep connection between man and nature.

Visualizing Nature brings together contemporary visionaries to share deeply personal essays on nature, ecology, sustainability, climate change, philosophy, and more. Compiled by editor and poet Stuart Kestenbaum, the contributors represent a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, each honoring nature's power to heal, inspire, guide, amaze, and strengthen.
