Today’s “Luminaries” guest is Robert Michael Pyle, a renowned environmental writer, conservation biologist, butterfly expert, and Guggenheim Fellow. Bob is the author of nearly 30 books, including “Sky Time in Gray’s River,” “Chasing Monarchs,” “Butterflies of the Pacific Northwest, ”and “Wintergreen,” which received the John Burroughs Medal.
During this episode, Bob shares how Ann Haymond Zwinger’s book “Beyond the Aspen Grove” changed his perception of what environmental writing could be.
Zwinger (1925-2014) was an American writer and naturalist. "Beyond the Aspen Grove," published in 1970, was her first book. She went on to publish 20 more books on natural history, often featuring her own beautiful illustrations. Her writing covered many landscapes, including American deserts, alpine tundra, and Baja California, Mexico. She became a specialist on Western rivers. Zwinger was nominated for a National Book Award in Science in 1973, won the John Burroughs Award for Nature Writing in 1976, and won the Western Arts Federation Award for nonfiction in 1995, among many honors.
“Luminaries” is produced by the Spring Creek Project at Oregon State University. This series invites people to share stories about writing and art that illuminates their environmental thinking or work.
