Working on a new printing of my book, ‘The Unpeopled Season’. Life marches forward and it is easy to get busy filling our minds with new thoughts, experiences and ideas, and I sometimes forget the things that I wrote in these pages, the thoughts I had while alone with the forest. It feels good to revisit these words, and to remember that each event in our lives stays with us, a brick in the foundation.

“My attraction to wild places is, in part, an attempt to relive the innocence and imagination lost after youth. To be submersed in the innocence of a forest, the ungoverned landscape, to exist by my own laws and no one else’s, even if only briefly — this is one of the primary beacons that guides me back into wild places.”

Super stoked to see this! Our latest Riverfeet Press Books publication - A YARD LONG - hit the #1 New Release Best Seller in its category! Congratulations to Susan Sampson - WAY TO GO!!

While it's cool to see this happening on Amazon, it's always best to order directly from our website. Your price is the same, the only difference is more money goes into the hands of the author rather than a corporate bank account.

I'm really digging this first draft of a cover for our new book, "A Yard Long," by Susan Sampson! Available for preorder now, 10% off the cover price. Find it here: https://www.riverfeetpress.com/

“I resolved to stop and smell the roses, see the mammals, hear the birds, feel the sun’s warmth and the wind’s chill. I would remember the invertebrates.”

On a small urban lot in North Central Washington state, Sampson searches for “the universe in a grain of sand.” She searches amidst the regional geology formed by cataclysms of unimaginable magnitude, including volcanic eruptions, mountains thrust up by shifting tectonic plates, carving by ice caps, and the inundation of floods after the disappearance of that ice. From the finite to the infinite, she explores the interconnectedness of subterranean insects, weeds and edible plants, lizards, birds, fungus, mammals and weather. Glowing with words of marvel and appreciation for the variety and persistence of life, and its relationship to organisms from around the world, like moss spores carried in the river of air, all observed in a small plot of land.
