I wrote this remembrance for the writer Barry Lopez, who died Friday. I think often of the lesson he took from beaver sticks he'd find on walks.
"I imagined the beaver were saying 'What the hell's wrong with you? You get back in there and do your work.'" npr.org/2020/12/26/948863127…
As sad as the conditions of Lopez's passing were, he also offered so much hope, lightness and grace in his work. A thread of some of my favorite Lopez-isms 1/x
Lopez wrote often about the threat of climate change, and, in a sad irony, he was forced to leave his home in September because of the unusually powerful wildfires in Oregon. His wife told me, "The fire was a blow he never could recover from." npr.org/2020/12/26/948863127…
He'd be the first to say his work isn't for everyone. But if you like any of this, I found this essay (and the collection it comes from, "About This Life") an excellent introduction to his work: outsideonline.com/1916541/wh…
Lopez's friend and collaborator, composer John Luther Adams, put it this way: "it is nothing less than tragic that this man, who was such a strong, clear voice of warning about global warming has died as a as a climate refugee. There's no other way of putting it."

NPR has confirmed that the National Book Award winning author Barry Lopez died Christmas Day. He had been battling prostate cancer since 2013.
Tune into @npratc today to hear @arishapiro's interview with @RaphaelBW about the surreal, hilarious, neurotic and deeply human worlds he constructs.
The new book of short stories by @BoJackHorseman creator @RaphaelBW is amazing throughout. But one of the most beautiful parts is the last line of the acknowledgments:
