About Going to Seed: Essays on Idleness, Nature, and Sustainable Work (Sowell Emerging Writers Prize)

An abandoned place, a disheveled person, a shabby or deteriorating we describe such ruin colloquially as “going to seed.” But gardeners will going to seed as idle? No, plants are sending out compressed packets filled with the energy needed to sow new life. A pause from flowering gives a chance for the seeds to form. In a time of urgent environmental change, of pressing social injustice, and of ever-advancing technologies and global connections, we often respond with acceleration-a speeding up and scaling up of our strategies to counter the damage and destruction around us. But what if we take the seeds as a starting what might we learn about work, sustainability, and relationships on this beleaguered planet if we slowed down, stepped back, and held off? Going to Seed explores questions of idleness, considering the labour both of humans and of the myriad other inhabitants of the world. Drawing on science, literature, poetry, and personal observation, these winding and sometimes playful essays pay attention to the exertions and activities of the other-than-human lives that are usually excluded from our built and settled spaces, asking whose work and what kinds of work might be needed for a more just future for all.
