The Wander Society by Keri Smith
From the internationally bestselling creator of Wreck This Journal...wan·der
verb \ˈwän-dər\
to walk/explore/amble in an unplanned or aimless way with a complete openness to the unknown
Several years ago when Keri Smith, bestselling author of Wreck This Journal, discovered cryptic handwritten notations in a worn copy of Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass, her interest was piqued. Little did she know at the time that those simple markings would become the basis of a years-long, life-changing exploration into a mysterious group known only as The Wander Society, as well as the subject of this book.
Within these pages, you'll find the results of Smith's research: A guide to the Wander Society, a secretive group that holds up the act of wandering, or unplanned exploring, as a way of life. You'll learn about the group's mysterious origins, meet fellow wanderers through time, discover how wandering feeds the creative mind, and learn how to best practice the art of wandering, should you choose to accept the mission.
Keri Smith is a bestselling novelist, illustrator, and thinker who lives in New York City. Her books adopt a learn by doing approach and are being used in school curricula all around the world to encourage non-traditional exploratory approaches. She also teaches and leads seminars in North America using her non-traditional ways. Wreck This Diary, How to Be a World Explorer, This is Not a Book, Mess - A Handbook of Accidents and Errors, Finish This Book, and Pocket Scavenger are some of her books. She enjoys spending time with her two children, Tilden and Ida, as well as her husband, experimental musician Jefferson Pitcher.
