World of Wonders

by Aimee Nezhukumatathil

A poet's illustrated essays on axolotls, peacocks, fireflies and the creatures that taught her to belong. Joyful and brief.

you want field guides.

Try instead: The Outermost House →

Three things you will actually use

  1. Wonder is belonging.
  2. Pay attention to creatures.
  3. Delight is serious.

Do this first

Read the essay on the catalpa tree.

Our verdict

A poet's bestiary.
