The Wilderness Cure - Mo Wilde

Winner of the John Avery Award, 2022 The Wilderness Cure is an act of love and community. Using her expert knowledge of botany and mycology, Wilde's memoir documents her radical pledge to live only off free, foraged food for an entire year. Through encountering hundreds of species she learns the process of not just how to survive, but how to thrive. Nourishing her body and mind deepens her connection with the earth and her sense of place within the natural network – a place that we have become estranged from but can all reconnect to.
