Helen Macdonald Comes to SAL February 1st!
SAL kicks off our winter and spring events with naturalist, poet, and must-read memoirist Helen Macdonald, author of H is for Hawk, the highly acclaimed exploration of grief and falconry. A veritable Renaissance woman of the natural world, Macdonald is also an illustrator, professional falconer, an affiliated research scholar at the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge, and a regular contributor to The New York Times Magazine. Macdonald will give an original talk about her work followed by a Q&A session.
This event is assisted by University Book Store with special promotional partnerships with the Burke Museum, Braided River, Forterra, Grist, Islandwood, and Seattle Audubon.
