This is the backstory of how I came to publish a book of wilderness poems nearly twenty years after I resolved to write it. If you’d like to support independent publishing, please restack this note.

Thanks to Samuél Lopez-Barrantes and Eleanor Anstruther for their encouragement and generous reviews, to my designer Laura Boyle for the gorgeous cover and interior, and to Alison Acheson, A. Jay Adler, and Twyla Hansen for contributing blurbs.

I’d be glad to share a PDF with anyone willing to add an Amazon review. If you love poetry and wild places, this book will speak to you.
