After Life as a Human Now Available!

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.
