Mark Liebenow grew up in Wisconsin near John Muir’s boyhood home reading about Muir, Aldo Leopold, and Sigurd Olson. When he moved to California, he went to Yosemite and discovered the transcendence of Nature that Muir wrote about. Liebenow now lives in Illinois where he helps friends preserve heirloom seeds on their organic farm. He writes about nature, poetry, recovery from grief, and the theology of fools.
