As a child, Nezhukumatathil called many places home: the grounds of a Kansas mental institution, where her Filipina mother was a doctor; the open skies and tall mountains of Arizona, where she hiked with her Indian father; and the chillier climes of western New York and Ohio. But no matter where she was transplanted, no matter how awkward the fit or forbidding the landscape- she could turn to our world's fierce and funny creatures for guidance. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Aimee Nezhukumatathil is the New York Times bestselling author of the illustrated essay collection BITE BY BITE: NOURISHMENTS AND JAMBOREES (Ecco, 2024), the illustrated nature essay collection, WORLD OF WONDERS: IN PRAISE OF FIREFLIES, WHALE SHARKS, AND OTHER ASTONISHMENTS (Milkweed Editions, 2020), and four award-winning collections of poetry: OCEANIC (2018), LUCKY FISH (2011), AT THE DRIVE-IN VOLCANO (2007), and MIRACLE FRUIT (2003). Her writing appears in two editions of The Best American Poetry, Poetry Magazine, The New York Times Magazine, ESPN, and The Paris Review. Awards for her writing include a fellowship from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment of the Arts, the Mississippi Arts Council, and the Pushcart Prize.
