Linda Hogan is an essayist and novelist of Chickasaw ancestry and co-editor of the anthology Intimate Nature: The Bond Between Women and Animals. As part of our month-long The End of Nature Series we take our Paragraph of the Week from her essay “Dwellings” in which she thinks about what it means to make a home on earth. She considers many examples of dwellings on earth in her essay—some successful, others not—and ends with her own home which is “enlarged beyond its wooden boundaries” by being a shelter she and her daughter share with birds and the heavens.—THE at www.
