A New Book from Diane Ackerman
September 21, 2009 at 5:18 pm Ryan Jones Leave a comment
Diane Ackerman ’70 has never been a writer defined by genre. Known to many for her poetry, Ackerman’s previous book was the 2007 best-seller The Zookeeper’s Wife, a historical look at a little-known story from World War II. Her latest book, apparently, is about the first thing in the morning. Dawn Light is about just that—and more broadly, this Washington Post review tells us, about learning to seize and appreciate life through the quiet, still moments at each day’s beginning. Sounds like inspiration for everyone I know.
