"These trees, these plants I have written to you about have taught me all I needed to know about your death." > Then M is gone--taken too young, too suddenly, under the strange and quiet shroud of the pandemic. In the absence that follows, B sets out each day into the vast wilds of Griffith Park with her dog, > She talks to her sister in the language of the landscape, sports with her in the shape-shifting form of the wild animals > B now finds herself open to the mystery of change--willing to release old habits, weary truths, impossible expectations, and the comforting fictions of family. She revisits her life as an anxious and dutiful daughter, sister, wife, mother, and artist, > Wild Things is the result: 59 letters to her sister, one for each year of her life, alive with grief, wonder, and transformation. A book about loss and about the radical clarity that comes when everything falls away--a luminous, unforgettable work.
