Gathering Moss is a series of personal essays introducing the reader to the life cycle, the ecology, and the natural history of mosses. The geographic range is restricted to the USA.

Some of these are still finding her way, but the range is worth it

5 stars

Essays of humor and humility and care, a sense of observation that stretches from the microscope to scientific inquiry to social obligation, and in a dozen different ways asks us to consider perspectives of place, belonging, and generosity from other being's vast or tiny differences. It's been a while since I read Braiding Sweetgrass, but I think this collection is no lesser for nominally having more of a narrow entryway through her world of moss.
