Her subjects are as eclectic as mallard ducks, ancient churches, monarch butterflies, classrooms, tourism, street markets, zoos, and dairy cows and as global as migration, war, language, and climate change. In Zoo World, Mary Quade examines our propensity for damage, our relationships with other species, our troubling belief in our own dominion, and the reality that when you put something in a cage, it becomes your responsibility. We contain the elements of our world in archives, boxes, collections, mausoleums, history books, and museums, trying to stave off their eventual disappearance from our memory and from the earth in a futile attempt at redemption for our violence against them. “A wild ride of a book about the animals in whose midst we live, the animals we eat, and the animals we are-taking us swiftly round the curves and hauling us up each steep ascent before the exhilarating, inevitable plunge that follows.” -Michelle Herman, The Journal Non/Fiction Prize judge and author of Close-Up Whether wandering a zoo in Vietnam, a beach by Tortuga Bay, some industrial no-man’s-land in Cleveland, or her own backyard, she gathers into her sentences a great many bright and broken findings that, arranged into these artful essays, lovingly illuminate this bright and broken world.” -Donovan Hohn, author of Moby-Duck and The Inner Coast “Mary Quade is a collector-of insects and injured ducks, of images and memories and facts. This extraordinary menagerie of essays is not to be missed.” -Sue William Silverman, author of How to Survive Death and Other Inconveniences “In these stunning and urgent explorations, largely about the (im)balance between the human and nonhuman worlds, Quade writes with the precision of a researcher, the lyricism of a poet (which she is), and a selfless compassion. Zoo World is a book to savor.” -Mary Norris, author of Between You & Me: Confessions of a Comma Queen Whether at home in Ohio or on an adventure in Michoacán, Vietnam, or the Galápagos, Quade is excellent company. In prose that is like fleshed-out poetry, she elevates the humble and brings great concepts down to earth. She has an unquenchable thirst for natural history-ducklings, milkweed, snake farms-and an unflinching eye for environmental crime. “Mary Quade is like a girl-guide transcendentalist. “Quade, a poet and creative writing instructor, presents a mixture of travel memoir, philosophical meditation, and environmental ethics class, pondering the many ways she and all of us walk through the world.…A pocket adventure for environmentalists and those who enjoy meditative writing.” - Kirkus
