Tovar Cerulli

Tovar Cerulli is a writer and researcher whose essays on hunting, wild food, and conservation have appeared in The Atlantic, Aeon, High Country News, Northern Woodlands, Bugle, and elsewhere. His lifelong curiosity about human relationships with the larger-than-human natural world has shaped his life and writing. It led him to apprentice with a forester-logger, to become a hunter after a decade as a vegan, and to attend graduate school. He holds a PhD in communication from UMass-Amherst and was an Aldo and Estella Leopold Writing Resident. He lives in Vermont with his wife Catherine and an eclectic mix of cookbooks.  The Mindful Carnivore is his first book.
