"Review: Words are Eagles: Selected Writings on the Nature and Language of
Place
 – Gregory Day (Upswell)


Gregory Day’s essay collection Words are Eagles is carefully subtitled:
“Selected Writings on the Nature and Language of Place”.

The word “nature” has crept in there perhaps to give a nod to the reader to
expect some version of “nature writing”. But this is not nature writing. In
fact, the book gently but firmly suggests we should think beyond the category
of “nature writing” as we have grown accustomed to it."

Share and enjoy,
