Mother, Creature, Kin: What We Learn from Nature's Mothers in a Time of Unraveling

Wednesday, April 30, 2025 (6:30 PM - 7:30 PM) (EDT)

Description

Gibson's Bookstore presents essayist Chelsea Steinauer-Scudder with her new book about the natural world, Mother, Creature, Kin: What We Learn from Nature's Mothers in a Time of Unraveling, which asks: what can other-than-human creatures teach us about mothering, belonging, caregiving, loss, and resiliency? What does it mean to be a mother in an era of climate catastrophe? And what can we learn from the plants and creatures who mother at the edges of their world's unraveling? Becoming a mother in this time means bringing life into a world that appears to be coming undone. Drawing upon ecology, mythology, and her own experiences as a new mother, Steinauer-Scudder confronts what it means to 'mother': to do the good work of being in service to the living world. What if we could all mother the places we live and the beings with whom we share those places? And what if they also mother us?
