The Colorado Sun Interview
“SunLit: Tell us this book’s backstory. What inspired you to write it? Where did the story/theme originate?
Camille Dungy: I’d been interested in writing a book about what grew up from the soil around me. A nature book. I won a Guggenheim fellowship that offered me the opportunity to pursue this goal in 2020. Perhaps you remember some of the things that happened in 2020. That was a pretty complicated year.”
