Heather Durham is a naturalist and contemplative writer exploring the science and mystery of internal and external landscapes, seeking meaning and solace as a feral human in the more-than-human world. Her first memoir, Going Feral, was selected as a Next Generation Indie Book Awards Finalist in Nature Writing, and her second collection, Wolf Tree, won a Nautilus Gold Award for Memoir in Essays. Sylvan Crone is her third memoir-in-essays, deepening into midlife existential questions and discovering new insights in the realms of folklore, feminism, ecophysiology, mental illness, and mysticism.

Heather holds degrees in psychology, ecology, and creative nonfiction, and lives, writes, works, and plays on the traditional lands of Coast Salish trib

“Sometimes, I am the beast in the darkness. Sometimes, I am the ghost.”
Heather Durham, Going Feral: Field Notes on Wonder and Wanderlust

“That little owl with a call as steady as my heartbeat was telling anyone who would listen, ‘I am here.’ We were listening. We’re listening still.”
Heather Durham, Going Feral: Field Notes on Wonder and Wanderlust

“I needed pain; I needed blood. Judge me if you want, but I’m talking about my own body. My own catharsis. About marking myself with beauty instead of ugliness.”
Heather Durham, Going Feral: Field Notes on Wonder and Wanderlust

“Maybe you were never actually lonely for other people. All along, maybe you were lonely for the earth.”
Heather Durham, Going Feral: Field Notes on Wonder and Wanderlust

“This something sparked on a little island off the rocky coast of Maine would grow from a twinge to a hunger to a need you would spend years, a decade, a lifetime pursuing.”
Heather Durham, Going Feral: Field Notes on Wonder and Wanderlust

“In reaching for stone, wood, water, and feather, I found my own edges softening, scars fading.”
Heather Durham, Going Feral: Field Notes on Wonder and Wanderlust

“Was I hiding from reality, on the outside looking in? Or, was I living my reality, on the outside looking out?”
Heather Durham, Going Feral: Field Notes on Wonder and Wanderlust

“I think I might like to grow thorns. Tough spines that barb anyone who grabs at me, tries to take from me, moves toward me any way other than delicately. Or thick boney horns I can point in front of me to shield the soft, sensitive parts. Not cruel, protected.”
Heather Durham, Going Feral: Field Notes on Wonder and Wanderlust
