Susan Brind Morrow is a classicist, linguist, and translator of both ancient Egyptian folklore/mythology and contemporary Arabic poetry. Her first book, The Names of Things, was a finalist for the PEN/Martha Albrand Award for the Art of the Memoir. Her second book, Wolves and Honey: A Hidden History of the Natural World, is a portrait of two of Morrow’s dearest friends, a trapper and a beekeeper, whose devotion to the wilds of the Finger Lakes region is matched only by hers. Praising Wolves and Honey, author Shirley Hazzard writes, “One seeks for words worthy of the authenticity and intimacy of this beautiful book. It is a treasury of perceptions…. conveyed in a clear voice unlike any other.”
