Reviews

"""This wonderfully insightful consideration of Rachel Carson's loves reveals the enduring—and urgent—possibilities within her brilliant work."" —Michelle Nijhuis, author of Beloved Beasts ""In this stirring, often revelatory account of Rachel Carson's queer relationship with Dorothy Freeman, Maxwell challenges us to ask for more—more pleasure, more beauty, more wonder, more mystery—for ourselves and the earth."" —Sabrina Imbler, author of How Far the Light Reaches ""It's not an exaggeration to say that Maxwell's work completely changed how I move through my daily life: who I love, how I love, and the way I think about the non-human world around me."" —Liza Yeager, radio producer and writer ""It is no longer enough to recycle or compost, or to shift our consumption to less energy-intensive items; we need to desire otherwise and reshape our cities and pastimes to excite other desires. This book offers an unusual and frequently moving reading of Rachel Carson to shift the tenor of climate writing today."" —Lisa Disch, author of Making Constituencies ""Maxwell makes crucial interventions into the study of ecological destruction by placing heteronormativity at its center."" —–Elisabeth Anker, author of Ugly Freedoms"
