Unveiling the Hidden Depths of Belonging: A Riveting Review of Kathryn Nuernberger’s ‘Held’
Ever wonder how the smallest creatures in nature might just hold the biggest lessons about connection, loss, and survival? Kathryn Nuernberger’s new book, Held: Essays in Belonging, is a shimmering tapestry of personal reflection and sharp observation that pulls you in and won’t let go. Having been enchanted by her earlier work, I was thrilled to dive into these essays that weave the intimate with the universal—where grief meets mutualism and the sacredness of Earth is both mourned and celebrated. Nuernberger’s journey—from the Arctic Circle all the way to Hawaii—feels like a pilgrimage through life’s toughest questions, asking whether our symbiotic ties might be enough to sustain us even when answers seem elusive. If you’ve ever found yourself crawling through the weeds of your own mind, trying to understand what it means to hold on or let go, this book speaks right to that restless searching heart.
