We Loved It All

“A profoundly evocative ode to life itself, in all its strange and wondrous and imperiled forms.” – Caitlin Gibson - The Washington Post“A rigorous, evocative, brilliant bow to life.” – Terry Tempest Williams, author of Erosion: Essays of Undoing“We Loved It All is at once lyrical and densely packed, intimate and all-encompassing. It beautifully captures the current moment, in all its terrors and possibilities.” – Elizabeth Kolbert, author of The Sixth Extinction“I love reading Lydia Millet, delight in the pithy observations of her all-seeing eye, and suspect her many admirers will be smitten with this deep-time story of our immersion in Earth’s wild creatures and our hapless modern attempts to escape nature.” – Dan Flores, author of Wild New World and Coyote America“An altogether unique book that allows you to watch a gorgeous mind at work. There is, quite apart from the magic of her writing, not a single page where you won’t learn something new. We Loved It All will leave you breathless.” – Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, author of Lost Companions and When Elephants Weep
