Tracing landscape, nature, memory, and time.
Stephen Black: Mapping Inner Landscapes
Stephen Black writes at the meeting point of landscape, nature, memory, and time, weaving personal history with observation to create contemplative narratives that linger, inviting readers to inhabit shifting terrains of place, loss, and quiet transformation. His nature memoir, The Middle of Somewhere: Eight Walks Through the Tamed Wild of West Tennessee, will be published in October 2026 by the University of Tennessee Press.
