Maughn Gregory
Kengo Kurimoto’s graphic novel Wildful explores the transformative power of nature and deep attention. Poppy is struggling with her mother’s depression after her grandmother’s passing. Initially absorbed in digital distractions, Poppy is drawn into the wilderness when her dog, Pepper, chases a fox. She meets Rob, a boy who teaches her to observe nature with curiosity and respect—tracking animals, noticing patterns, and sitting in silence. Poppy learns that being in nature can assuage generational grief through a renewed sense of wonder and connection.

Rivers and Tides
Peter Shea
The documentary Rivers and Tides presents an unfamiliar take on the work of the artist, the role of a work of art in human life, and, ultimately, on the relationship between human beings and natural objects and forces. In following artist Andy Goldsworthy as he talks through the work he is doing, one has an opportunity to ask basic questions about some deeply held beliefs – to which there are, as he shows, plausible alternatives.
