My Works

A Memoir with Birds...coming April 2007!
Soaring With Fidel
My story of following the osprey migration from Cape Cod to Cuba and Venezuela and back
Essays/Nature Writing (NO! arrgghh....)
Sick of Nature
"Not since the diatribes from Edward Abbey has anyone in this field come out and made such a sacrilege of our holy texts."
--John Hanson Mitchell
Essays/Nature/Birds
Return of the Osprey
“A classic of American nature writing.”
--The Boston Globe
Memoir, Nature
The Prophet of Dry Hill
"This book is an enormous gift, an act of preservation as important as any chunk of land purchased by The Nature Conservancy. John Hay's stature cannot be overestimated, and David Gessner has done him great justice." —Bill McKibben, author of Wandering Home: A Long Walk Through America’s Most Hopeful Landscape
A Wild, Rank Place
“A highly readable, disarmingly self-conscious meditation on nature, ancestry, and mortality."
The Boston Globe
Western Writing
Under the Devil's Thumb
"Gessner's essays are on fire. He shows us that we can have delightful, imaginative and creative lives by becoming more rooted and connected to the place where we are...Wise and enlivening, provoking us into a higher understanding of both nature and ourselves."
--Rocky Mountain News
