Margaret Renkl

Author of The Comfort of Crows

In The Comfort of Crows, bestselling author Margaret Renkl presents fifty-two chapters that follow the creatures and plants in her backyard over the course of a year. As she takes us through the seasons, she introduces us to both joy at the ongoing pleasures of the natural world and grief at a shifting climate, as winters end too soon and songbirds grow fewer. The author of Late Migrations: A Natural History of Love and Loss (2019) and Graceland, at Last: Notes on Hope and Heartache From the American South (2021), she is a contributing Opinion writer for The New York Times, where her essays appear each Monday.
