Some Meat I've Known by Lou Tamposi

Some Meat I’ve Known is a year lived close to the bone.

Moving through winter, spring, summer, and fall, these essays trace a life shaped by woods and water, kitchens and tables, animals taken and animals remembered. Hunting trips, shared meals, solitary hours, and family rituals become entry points into larger questions—about attention, work, gratitude, masculinity, inheritance, and what it means to live deliberately in a modern world that rarely slows down.

The “meat” here is literal—deer, fish, birds, and livestock—but also figurative: the substance of a life examined without sentimentality. These pieces sit at the intersection of food writing, nature writing, and personal essay, drawing quiet influence from writers like Jim Harrison, Aldo Leopold, and Annie Dillard, while remaining grounded in contemporary New England landscapes and daily realities.
