Charles' latest book: Weave Me a Crooked Basket: a novel
“I haven’t read a novel in a long time that felt this hopeful, this authentic in feeling, in landscape, in the complexities of the lives of its people—ordinary people who are not only farmers and gardeners but artists and biologists and immigrants, wives and husbands, sisters and brothers. It’s a marvelous book, written with immense compassion and honesty, insight and detail. I loved it.” --Molly Gloss, author of The Jump-Off Creek and The Hearts of Horses
“You can tell that Charles Goodrich is both a gifted writer and an attentive gardener, giving us a heartening story that is grounded in the way that land and people can heal each other. He has cultivated characters so memorable that I missed them as soon as I read the last page.”--Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of Braiding Sweet Grass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teaching of Plants
Charles is the author of four volumes of poems, Watering the Rhubarb, Going to Seed: Dispatches from the Garden, Insects of South Corvallis, and A Scripture of Crows, and a collection of essays about nature, parenting, and building their house, The Practice of Home. He also co-edited two anthologies of writing at the interface of literature and science, In the Blast Zone: Catastrophe and Renewal on Mount St. Helens and Forest Under Story: Creative Inquiry in an Old-Growth Forest.
