After Life as a Human Reviewed in Florida Book Review

"Laura Valeri's After Life as a Human is an important and honest quest into an uncertain future, the fragility of the natural world, and the contradictory desires of humans seeking wildness and redemption amidst the ravages we've wrought," writes Shana Graham in The Florida Book Review's review of After Life as a Human. Read the review at the Florida Book Review website here.

In After Life as a Human, we join Laura Valeri on Dog Island—remote, amenity-deprived, hurricane-prone. Where pelicans rule, residents are resourceful, and human ambition is suspect. With uncanny observation and lyrical reflection, these essays explore the persistence, fragility, and connectedness of life on the island and off.

Laura Valeri's After Life as a Human is now available! See our After Life as a Human page for more info and to order.

Keep an eye on our events page for events with Laura Valeri this spring! In the meantime, you can find reviews and interviews with Laura Valeri linked on our media page.
