Animal Watch by Norma Tilden
Non Fiction
31 pages
8.5” x 5.5” single signature with hand sewn binding
Published April 2022
In this collection of lyrical essays, Norma Tilden examines the animal world, the animal mind, and the human response to both. These pieces are packed with closely observed interactions and deep imaginative dives with animals such as screech owls, bears, deer, dogs, and a singularly smart snake. The reader may choose this book for the animals but will return to it for Tilden’s humor, keen observations, and poetic turns.
“We need animals to share with us that quick punch of terror, the wild reflexive choice to move, the sure rising and hanging there, body riding the cold air, then gone.”
