Delight: A Natural History of My Garden
by Diane Ackerman
Diane Ackerman relishes the world of her garden. As a poet, she finds
within it an endless field of metaphors. As a naturalist, she notices each
small, miraculous detail: the hummingbirds and their routines, the showy
tulips, the crazy yellow forsythia. Of visiting deer she writes, "I love
watching the deer, which always arrive like magic or a miracle or the answer
to an unasked question." In her popular book A Natural History of the Senses,
Ackerman celebrates the human body; in A Natural History of My Garden,
she turns her attention to the world outside the body, outside the human
sphere. Structured by seasons, this is a book of subtle shifts, but the
reader never feels lost. Her prose is so welcoming, at times it feels like
she's talking directly to you, although her lush, poetic language is the
opposite of speech. Distracted urban readers craving a book that will transport
them would do well to spend time immersed in these pages, as will gardeners
who've lost appreciation for their plot. Ackerman is a generous writer--a
teacher who will share treasured, obscure passages from Beckett or Hawthorne.
She's emotional and highly charged, and her descriptions are so clear they're
small marvels. She's remarkable for her ability to find mystery everywhere.

There is, nevertheless,
a certain respect and a general duty of humanity that ties us, not only
to beasts that have life and sense, but even to trees and plants.
Michel de Montaigne,
essayist (1533-1592) |
