Goodreads asked Nato Thompson:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Nato Thompson I began Marshsong in my late 20s, two and a half years after having graduated at Berkeley. After many failed attempts at running an anarchist collectivist art space, and working dead end jobs, I had a slight nervous breakdown and moved in with my mother in the woods of Massachusetts. Out of this depressed state came these two children who laughed and fed on my vast sadness.
