Reviving Artemis is a provocative, often funny, and moving memoir about a middle-aged woman’s quest to fully inhabit the northern forest. Writer Deborah Lee Luskin chronicles her transformation from an urbanite with aversions to untracked woods, guns, and hunting into a longtime Vermonter determined to “eat the landscape,” first as a homesteader and then as a deer hunter. She shares lively portraits of her mentors—a traditional Vermont woodsman and a spiritually grounded hunter—who taught her to navigate the untracked forest by following deer. Luskin challenges assumptions about hunters and guns, revealing their role in balancing ecosystems. This personal story explores stepping off life’s obvious path, embracing challenges outside your comfort zone, liberating yourself from limitations, and aging fiercely. Luskin’s journey invites readers to confront their place in the natural world.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
