One of the pens behind the press
Brynn Halloway
Nature and environment ยท Field notes from the edge of town
Brynn writes about the wildlife that never got the memo about wilderness: the drain that turned into a stream, the flat roof that turned into a nesting site, the verge nobody mows. Her books are built from patient field notes and the sort of counting that takes years before it means anything. She writes about loss without letting it become the whole story. Owns more notebooks than shelves.
