Into a Darker Wilderness
Erin Sharkey, editor of the anthology "A Darker Wilderness: Black Nature Writing from Soil to Stars" (Milkweed), and Michael Kleber-Diggs, author of the poetry collection "Worldly Things" (Milkweed) are the hosts for this podcast about Black nature writing. Into a Darker Wilderness is, as much as anything, a home for people who love nature and books and conversations about both. Because abundant time in nature is foundational to human flourishing, we host writers & thinkers who engage deeply with the natural world and, through their efforts and ideas, help others do that too.
