A poetic reimagining of Thoreau's Walden, challenging individualism and celebrating nature.

In We Are Not Where We Are, Matt Donovan and Jenny George present a chapter-by-chapter erasure of Thoreau's classic, questioning its core beliefs about self-reliance and our relationship with the environment. The poems embody a collaborative spirit, unearthing a vision of limitless possibility and wild beauty within the original text. This collection invites readers to reconsider their connection to nature and society.
