Riverby is a collection of outdoor essays that reflects a deep engagement with the natural world, shaped by the author s close observations of the landscape near the Hudson River. With a reflective and poetic tone, the essays explore the quiet beauty of fields, forests, and riverbanks, offering detailed impressions of flora, fauna, and seasonal change. The opening essay presents an intimate view of discovering wildflowers, emphasizing the pleasure of stumbling upon nature s offerings unexpectedly rather than through determined search. This preference for spontaneity reveals a philosophy grounded in patience and attentiveness, where nature reveals itself to those who wait. Interwoven with classical allusions and personal memories, the writing suggests a bond between the natural world and human imagination. The essays move fluidly between description and meditation, allowing readers to experience the quiet joys of birdsong, blooming fields, and shifting weather. In its early pages, the book establishes not only a physical setting but also an emotional and intellectual landscape shaped by wonder, humility, and reverence for the living world.
