Benson converses with Kinship co-editors Gavin Van Horn, Robin Wall Kimmerer, and John Hausdoerffer


Fellow earthlings! If you're anything like me you need a boost of connection on a daily basis. I have just the conversation for you! I spoke with co-editors Gavin Van Horn, Robin Wall Kimmerer, and John Hausdoerffer about their new five books series Kinship: Belonging in a World of Relations (Humans and Nature Press). The Whiting Award winning journal Full Stop published it for your reading pleasure. 

What is our relationship to the more-than-human world? How does naming impact and reflect these relationships? Can playfulness build resiliency? These are some of the questions and topics we pondered together. I invite you join the conversation.

Full Stop published it in two parts:

Part 1
Part 2

Have a look, then check out the books! They're gorgeous and illuminating.
