Overview

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.

This poem sequence takes the shape of a journey's travel log, plotted on various maps at once geographical and geological. These are maps of recorded personal and ancient history and vital myths. We accompany the speaker through the shifting landscapes and biophanies, while the speaker's I often retreats allowing the ambient sounds of nonhuman animals to surface. Lyrically intricate, and often oracular in its speech, the lines in this book pierce through the thick ecological grief we carry, lighting and shading the relationships between everything alive. -Carolina Ebeid author of You Ask Me to Talk About the Interior, Dauerwunder: a brief record of facts, and Hide
