Words That Emerge When Human and Earth Voices Entwine

We are nature, writing about ourselves.

Hawks. Forests. Seasons. Stones. When we attune to the land and her creatures, something shifts. Language escapes the domesticated and becomes Wild Language: words that carry the rhythm and sensibilities of the living world — words that hold the memory of everything we are. And through them, we remember what we always were — not observers of nature, but nature itself, articulate and alive.

The Wild Scribe will empower you to embody the principles of wild language and reimagine your role within the living world. Drawing on decades of experience as a facilitator of poetry and journal therapy, Mary Reynolds Thompson shows how to move beyond observation and into relationship with the land, using writing as a tool for presence, healing, and ecological stewardship — guiding you to explore your immediate environment, chart the seasons, and engage with the soul of a place.

Born from a global writing community, the book's pages are alive with many voices. It is fitting, then, that we celebrate its emergence together.

Thanks to this enchanting book, I have touched moments of awe among the trees. Mary Reynolds Thompson shows us how simple writing exercises can be a form of pure ecotherapy. The Wild Scribe is a beautifully written gift that I will cherish and return to—and recommend to my ecotherapy clients. – Stephen McCabe, Course Director, Ten Directions Ecotherapy Training.
