Geoff Wisner speaks about his new book, "A Year of Birds: Writings on Birds from the Journal of Henry David Thoreau." Thoreau's writings on birds are arranged by day of the year, revealing the relationship of birds with their environment and the spiritual significance of the seasons. The book features 150 watercolors and field sketches by renowned bird artist Barry Van Dusen and a foreword by celebrated naturalist Peter Alden, the author of numerous Audubon Field Guides. Geoff Wisner is an author and editor based in New York City. His essays and book reviews have appeared in publications including The African Review of Books, the Boston Globe, the Christian Science Monitor, and the New York Times. He is currently a board member of the Thoreau Society.
