MoonDragon's Bookshelf Moony Hello everyone! Welcome to the podcast where I talk about the books I've read recently! A lot of the books I want to talk about will be backlisted, but of course, I'll talk about some new ones, too! You can check out my book blog for more content! Lexicon for Life Byline Supplement Those words are: Loneliness, Grace, Vitality, Anxiety, Dreaming, Trickster, Spirituality, and Imagination. All have a special resonance in the work of the award-winning writer Jay Griffiths (author of Wild: An Elemental Journey, Why Rebel? and How Animals Heal Us).In each of the eight episodes, Jay takes one of these words for a walk – exploring how they connect us to the past, bind us to the other life on the planet and offer us a silver thread to follow into the future.Each episode features readings and discussions in which Jay is joined by the actor and writer Joanna Scanlan (Riot Women, After Love) and the writer and podcaster John Mitchinson (QI, Backlisted).Words are our species’ most brilliant invention. A Lexicon for Life shows us why some words matter more than others. www.bylinesupplement.com
