Part blueprint for a major new work, part scientific chart, and part re-envisioning of the way we experience the passage of time, Thoreau's \u003ci\u003eKalendar\u003c\/i\u003e was more a tool than a text. Comprised of six multipage charts of \"general phenomena,\" the Kalendar was an instrument for recording not just natural and weather-related phenomena, but also the hidden relations among them--between the skies of one June and the skies of past and future Junes--relations we often feel but can't quite hold, rooted as we typically are in our own brief moment of linear time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombining reproductions of Thoreau's hand-drawn charts with transcriptions of the \u003ci\u003eKalendar\u003c\/i\u003e's text and essays by acclaimed poet and scholar Kristen Case, this gorgeously crafted volume illuminates the final project of one of America's most treasured writers and naturalists and offers a timeless, transformative vision of how to live harmoniously with the living world around us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kristen Case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Milkweed Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 9.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781571311597\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2025 pg. 97\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKristen Case is a poet and scholar.
