wolf mutter

wolf mutter traverses psychogeography, hybrid persona, and narratives of intergenerational and ecological trauma and connection in the high-desert and alpine landscapes of Colorado. Conceived during a period of maternal grief and a two-year study of the extermination and reemergence of gray wolves in the Southern Rockies, this poetic sequence is articulated from research, interviews with wolf biologists, a writing retreat in wolf territory along the Colorado-Wyoming border, and inspiration/collaboration with other poets writing into deep ecology and the Anthropocene. wolf mutter speaks urgently to our capacities for personal, collective, and interspecies survival in a rapidly changing world with dynamic form, vivid imagery, and intimate familiarity.
