In this conversation, acclaimed author Robert Macfarlane asks the
ancient and urgent question: is a river alive? Understanding rivers
to be presences, not resources, he immerses us in the ways they
“irrigate our bodies, thoughts, songs, and stories,” and how we
might recognize this within our imagination and ethics. He speaks
about his latest book, and traces his journeys down the Río Los
Cedros in Ecuador, the waterways of Chennai in India, and the
Mutehekau Shipu in Nitassinan and how each brought him to
experience these water bodies as willful, spirited, and sacred
beings. Read the transcript. Photo by William Waterworth.
