Discourse of the Birds: A conversation with David Abram

Cultural ecologist and philosopher, David Abram is the director of the Alliance for Wild Ethics. He is author of The Spell of the Sensuous: Perception and Language in a More-than-Human World, for which he received the Lannan Literary Award for Nonfiction. An accomplished storyteller and sleight-of-hand magician who has lived and traded magic with indigenous sorcerers in Indonesia, Nepal and the Americas, Abram lectures and teaches widely on several continents. His work engages the ecological depths of the imagination, exploring the ways in which sensory experience, poetics and wonder inform our relation with the animate earth. Abram’s essays on the cultural causes and consequences of environmental disarray appear often in such journals as Adbusters, Orion, Environmental Ethics, Tikkun, Parabola and The Ecologist. He was named by the Utne Reader as one of a hundred visionaries currently transforming the world. In 2005, he was invited to give the keynote address for the United Nations World Environment Week to 70 mayors from the largest cities around the world. He maintains a passionate interest in interspecies communication, and in the rejuvenation of oral culture. He is currently completing a book on the ecology of wonder.
