Sydney Kale will visit City Lights Bookstore on Thursday, January 23rd at 6PM to share her new book, "The Love Language of Plants: Stories of Becoming Written by a Human and Her Plants".
"The Love Language of Plants" is a collection of co-authored essays written by a human and her plants. These heartfelt essays capture intimate moments and encounters between human and plant, where connections are forged through the shared language of experience and love, simultaneously transcending and embracing species boundaries. Plants speak a language that cannot be perfectly held by words. By re-attuning our senses to their wise and ancient ways of being in the world, we open ourselves to the unique story that each plant wishes to share with us. We invite you to listen, and join in this journey of discovery.
Sydney is a Ph.D. student of Wisdom Studies at Ubiquity University, focusing on plant intelligence and phenomenology. Her academic work culminates in an exploration of co-authorship with plants in both academic and creative works. She is the author of The Love Language of Plants, a collection of essays written with plants at her home in Asheville, North Carolina. She also publishes a bi-weekly blog where she shares her curiosities about the felt experience of being a human and a plant in a non-academic creative forum.
