Eyes on Indie | These Books Might Change How You Treat the World | Nonfiction from Milkweed @eyesonindie | Uploaded March 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Milkweed Editions is a great independent publisher of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. I read 17 books from Milkweed in 2022, including the 5 nonfiction I discuss here. All of the books I read from Milkweed, especially the nonfiction, involved questions of what it means to call a place home and how we treat those we share our homes with. Stay to the end, where I list a bunch more recent nonfiction books published by Milkweed!

I refer to the Skywoman Falling story in the video, but it isn't my story to tell, so I only shared a few key details. If you are interested in learning more, here's an excerpt from Braiding Sweetgrass, by Robin Wall Kimmerer:
