SUMMARY:Adult Book Club: “The Serviceberry" by Robin Wall Kimmerer
DESCRIPTION:This month’s book is The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World by Robin Wall Kimmerer. (128 pages) \nAbout the book: As Indigenous scientist and author Robin Wall Kimmerer harvests serviceberries alongside the birds\, she considers the ethic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the gift economy. How\, she asks\, can we learn from Indigenous wisdom and the plant world to reimagine what we value most? Our economy is rooted in scarcity\, competition\, and the hoarding of resources\, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile\, the serviceberry’s relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity\, interconnectedness\, and gratitude.\nAs Elizabeth Gilbert writes\, Robin Wall Kimmerer is “a great teacher\, and her words are a hymn of love to the world.” The Serviceberry is an antidote to the broken relationships and misguided goals of our times\, and a reminder that “hoarding won’t save us\, all flourishing is mutual.” \nAbout the Author: Robin Wall Kimmerer is a mother\, scientist\, professor\, and enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. She is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom\, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants as well as Gathering Moss: A Natural and Cultural History of Mosses. Kimmerer is a 2022 MacArthur Fellow. She lives in Syracuse\, New York\, where she is a SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor of Environmental Biology\, and the founder of the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment. \nThe Adult Book Club meets in-person at the Library on the second Friday of each month. If you have questions about the Book Club\, please email Linda Reimer: reimerl@stls.org \nCheck our calendar for future dates and book selections.
