Advance praise for Creeksong
Creeksong is remarkable. Spun from the life of a leading feminist, planner, and eco-activist, this book is charming, wise, and surprising. Best of all, it is life-affirming as it helps us face dark clouds ahead.
Aidan Davison
Associate Professor of human geography and environmental studies, University of Tasmania
Creeksong is a courageous and moving tribute to life, death, healing, and the natural world. It is, at heart, an initiatory journey of a woman, weaving a tale that spans decades and continents, and captures the innocence and hopefulness of a child, the passion of a woman, and the wise humility of an elder.

Moving seamlessly between a suspenseful narrative and scientific facts, Creeksong shows us the real costs of climate change. Sarkissian also demonstrates the courage it takes to love deeply and to work with urgency to heal mother earth.
