Hurd explores the allure of bogs, swamps, and wetlands. Her forays into the land of carnivorous plants, swamp gas, and bog men provide fertile ground for rich thoughts about mythology, literature, Eastern spirituality, and human longing. In her observations, she finds ample metaphor for human creativity, imagination, and fear.
