"Using an accessible storytelling approach, The Sound of Feathers centers places and spaces from the author's everyday life to ask: What does it mean to be haunted by the lives and afterlives of other animals in everyday places of living and dying-from roadkill to animal testing, getting rid of a backyard rat's nest or sharing space with chickens? Kathryn Gillespie bears witness to these hauntings and shows how witnessing the violence toward living beings that is inherent to everyday life illuminates political and ethical entanglements among humans, other species, and the ecologies in which we live and die. More broadly, Gillespie shows how attention to everyday multispecies encounters might work to reveal, disrupt, and undo the violences of racial capitalism, settler colonialism, and anthropocentrism"-- Provided by publisher.

From the rustle of a crow’s wings to the cool touch of moss on a stone wall, to the quiet determination of a worm crossing a sidewalk, The Sound of Feathers invites readers to notice the small wonders of life all around them. These fleeting details hold surprising truths about humanity’s connection to nature, the complex relationships of care and harm in which we are entangled, our responsibilities to other species, and what it means to be fully present in the world. Through vivid storytelling and deeply personal reflections, Kathryn Gillespie invites us to slow down, pay attention, and think differently about our everyday lives so that we might imagine shared futures of flourishing. She urges us to confront the forces that separate us from the natural world and find more compassionate ways of living in harmony with it. Gillespie reminds us that the quiet, often overlooked moments in life are where the most profound insights and connections begin.

Through storytelling and personal reflections, Kathryn Gillespie invites readers to slow down, pay attention, and notice the small wonders of nature—from the rustle of a crow’s wings to the cool touch of moss on a stone wall—so that they might imagine shared futures of flourishing.

"The Sound of Feathers makes significant contributions to environmental humanities, multispecies ethnography, and critical animal studies. Gillespies commitment to radical reflexivityacknowledging her own complicity in systems of harm even as she critiques themmodels the kind of honest, embodied scholarship the field needs. . . . The book will be valuable for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses in animal studies, environmental ethics, feminist theory, and qualitative methods. Scholars working at intersections of settler colonialism, capitalism, and multispecies relations will find essential interventions here."Lisa Jean Moore, H-Environment, H-Net Reviews
