Surfacing

â€œ[Kathleen Jamieâ€™s] essays guide you softly along coastlines of varying continents, exploring caves, and pondering ice ages until the narrator stumbles over â€” not a rock on the trail, but mortality, maybe the earthâ€™s, maybe our own, pointing to new paths forward through the forest.â€ â€”Delia Owens, author ofÂ Where the Crawdads Sing,Â â€œBy the Bookâ€ inÂ The New York Times Book Review.

An immersive exploration of time and place in a shrinking world, from the award-winning author of Sightlines.

In this remarkable blend of memoir, cultural history, and travelogue, poet and author Kathleen Jamie touches points on a timeline spanning millennia, and considers what surfaces and what reconnects us to our past. From the thawing tundra linking a Yup'ik village in Alaska to its hunter-gatherer past to the shifting sand dunes revealing the impressiely preserved homes of neolithic farmers in Scotland, Jamie explores how the changing natural world can alter our sense of time. Most movingly, she considers, as her father dies and her children leave home, the surfacing of an older, less tethered sense of herself. In precise, luminous prose, Surfacing offers a profound sense of time passing and an antidote to all that is instant, ephemeral, unrooted.
