Widening circles : a memoir
(Book)

Widening Circles is the Life story of one of this era's most revered environmental and spiritual leaders. Joanna Macy is one of those rare people who, in the words of a Rilke poem, can genuinely claim to "Live my Life in widening circles/that reach out across the world." Spanning a period of enormous change, Macy's life ranges from the steely center of the Cold War to the Heart of tumultuous transition in Africa, India, and Tibet. Absorbing the key currents of spiritual and intellectual Life, she transformed them into a unique and powerful synthesis that will have relevance for decades to come.
