About Books, October 17, 2009

Diane Ackerman has a new book of essays called "Dawn Light: Dancing with Cranes and Other Ways to Start the Day." This is the third time I've interviewed Ackerman and each time I become a bigger fan: of her powers of observation, of her vocabulary and of her optimism. Whether she is welcoming the day in Florida or New York, in spring, summer, autumn or fall, her thoughts will inform you of many interesting things other than what is happening at the moment. Each essay, each paragraph, each sentence is a perfect delight.
