About
"Every garden holds a story the rain has already begun to tell."
Evie Fawbush grew up between the hedgerows of rural Vermont and the reading rooms of New England's oldest libraries. She spent her childhood making field journals of wildflowers and her adulthood turning those journals into literature.
Her writing moves between memoir, nature essay, and literary fiction — always with roots in the sensory world, always asking what it means to tend something: a plot of land, a friendship, a grief that hasn't finished growing.
She teaches creative nonfiction at the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference and lives with her partner and two rescue dogs in the Champlain Valley.

Fawbush writes about the natural world the way some writers write about the ocean — as if it were the only honest metaphor we have left.
There is a patience to her prose that feels almost botanical itself — it unfurls slowly, deliberately, and then suddenly you are deep inside something beautiful.
A rare voice that manages to be both rigorous and tender. Her essays are essential reading for anyone who has ever tended a garden or buried something they loved.
The Understory Season is the novel I will press into the hands of every reader who believes good fiction must also teach us how to pay attention.
