Join us for an author talk by bestselling author Caroline Sutton about her new book Eyes in the Soles of My Feet: From Horseshoe Crabs to Sycamores, Exploring Hidden Connections to the Natural World. Over the course of twenty-nine essays, Sutton observes a variety of flora and fauna, making surprising observations that could be explored in interviews.

Natural history writer Caroline Sutton has been writing and contributing essays over the years to a variety of notable nature journals and literary publications, among them, Kenyon Review, Gulf Coast, Terrain.org, North American Review, Cimarron Review, and The Los Angeles Review. In 2012 Sutton received Southern Humanities Review’s Theodore Christian Hoepfner Award for her essay, “Eclipsed,” and her work has been cited frequently among notable essays in Best American Essays. A former book editor and high school creative non-fiction writing teacher, Caroline is also the author of the bestselling book How Do They Do That? that sold over a million copies. She later published a collection of essays, Don't Mind Me, I Just Died and a memoir, Mainlining. She currently makes her home in East Hampton, New York.
