CHARLES SIEBERT

“Charles Seibert upends all our preconceptions about 'nature' and 'civilization,' two words that look completely different by the end of this gem of a book. Seibert brings a wonderful new voice to American nature writing.”  — Michael Pollan

Charles Siebert is the author of three critically acclaimed memoirs: THE WAUCHULA WOODS ACCORD: TOWARD A NEW UNDERSTANDING OF ANIMALS, a physical and metaphysical exploration of chimps in retirement homes across the US; A MAN AFTER HIS OWN HEART, a journey into the literal and figurative heart of our being; and WICKERBY: AN URBAN PASTORAL, a memoir that led one reviewer to call him New York City’s “sweetest, most clear-eyed chronicler since E.B. White.” He is also the author of a novel, ANGUS, which is an autobiography from the perspective of his Jack Russell terrier; an e-book, ROUGH BEASTS: THE ZANESVILLE ZOO MASSACRE ONE YEAR LATER, and a children’s book, THE SECRET WORLD OF WHALES.

A journalist, poet, essayist, and contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine, Siebert has written for Harper’s, National Geographic, The New Yorker, Outside, Vanity Fair, and other publications.
