On this edition of Madison BookBeat, host Cole Erickson interviews Heather Swan about her latest book Dandelion, a collection of poetry which explores our uniquely human relationship with this natural world, not only in its wondrous beauty, but also in its devastation and fragility.

About the guest:

Heather Swan is a poet, non-fiction writer, and educator in Madison. Her poetry includes the collection A Kinship with Ash, which was a finalist for the ASLE Book Award, and her chapbook The Edge of Damage, which was the winner of the Wisconsin Chapbook Award.

She is also the author of the non-fiction book Where Honeybees Thrive: Stories from the Field, which won the Sigurd F. Olson Nature Writing Award. A companion book to Where Honeybees Thrive is expected to be released later this year, titled Where the Grass Still Sings: Stories of Insects and Interconnection.
