Overview

In a dozen luminous stories, award-winning author Cameron Walker brings readers to the water's edge, where the known world collides with magic and with the mysterious depths of the human heart. Here, a pandemic turns children into sea creatures, a baker kneads unusual pie crusts during a California mudslide, and a young man sets off to see the world in a flying coat. Lyrical and dreamlike, How to Capture Carbon navigates the seas of a changing climate and the transformative power of loss--and of love.

""Hypnotic, surprising, and seductive, Walker's stories are grounded in reality until-in an understated leap into the magical-they aren't. The ride is a joy.""-Heidi Reimer, author of The Mother Act ""With luminous precision, Cameron Walker reveals the dangers and enchantments of the natural world, and creates situations that are as dazzling as they are disturbing.""-April Ayers Lawson, author of Virgin and Other Stories ""These brilliant stories feel written in the sand with a stick in a language that won't wash away. Cameron Walker has reimagined the natural world to honor its hilarious spells and breathtaking miracles and somber cries for help. She makes me believe in her make-believe. I absolutely love this book.""-Sabrina Orah Mark, author of Happily: A Personal History with Fairy Tales
