About Lit and Landscapes

Read wild. Roam free.

​

It began as a simple, maybe impossible goal: to read every banned book and to learn from every wild place.

​

As a family, we started reading banned books together — talking about the ideas inside and the challenges raised against them. We often read on road trips, where we discovered how much we thrive in nature.

​

But public lands, like books, are often caught in political crosshairs.

​

Lit & Landscapes was born from a love of these two freedoms — the freedom to read and the freedom to roam. We read banned books to better understand our humanity, and we turn to wild places to stay connected to the world around us.

​

As C.S. Lewis wrote, “In reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself. Like the night sky in the Greek poem, I see with a myriad eyes, but it is still I who see. Here, as in worship, in love, in moral action, and in knowing, I transcend myself; and am never more myself than when I do.”

Welcome to Lit & Landscapes — where stories and landscapes meet, and both are worth protecting.
