After Life as a Human Now Available!

We are excited to announce our latest release, Laura Valeri's After Life as a Human, out November 1st!

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.

And keep an eye on our events page for events with Laura Valeri this winter! In the meantime, you can find interviews with Laura Valeri linked on our events page or on our media page.
