Welcome to The Naturalist

Why Subscribe?

All of the research, reflection, and writing that goes into making The Naturalist is funded by paid subscribers. There is a lot of great content available for free, but if you find my work valuable, please consider supporting me with a paid subscription. Paid subscribers get every piece of my writing delivered directly to their inbox and have access to the full archive on the website. The more support that I receive through subscriptions, the more time I can commit to making The Naturalist the very best it can be.

If you enjoy my writing and find it worthwhile, please share it with your friends!

Whether you decide to do a free or paid subscription, I truly cannot thank you enough.

About Me

My name is Micah and I am a young explorer of the world and ideas. I am constantly trying to learn and understand more about our planet, my fellow humans, and how we all interact.

I write poetry and prose on a range of topics, but my primary preoccupation is the world around us and our relationship with it. I hope you will subscribe to hear my thoughts and read my poems.

Writing for me is a way of thinking about topics —I write to better understand. Feel free to reach out any time to share your responses to my writing. Whether it is positive or critical, your feedback will help me improve my work on this page.

You can comment directly on posts or write to me at micahluedtke@gmail.com

FAQ

How can I read a subscriber update?

You can read a subscriber-only update in email, or on the website. If you click through from your email you will be automatically logged in. If you come to the website separately, you can log in through the Membership page.

What do I get when I subscribe?

Paid subscribers get poems in their inbox during the week, access to every long form piece that goes out, and the knowledge that they are helping to support a writer they believe in and value.

Can I forward the emails?

When it comes to the free posts, spread them as far and as wide as you like, on whatever platform you currently prefer. Occasionally forwarding subscribers-only emails is just fine too. If you think my writing is worth sharing, please encourage others to considering subscribing as well so I can keep producing great work.
