My Reflections West Wolf Essay



Lisa and David at "Reflections West" read a short piece I wrote about meeting a wolf, and pair that with my selection from Aldo Leopold's famous passage about watching a wolf die and the "fierce green fire" leave from its eyes, from A Sand County Almanac. Click on the link below to listen:

More Kind Words for WDS

More kind words for WDS from the Register-Guard. Thank you Brian.

Charles Finn’s “Wild Delicate Seconds: 29 Wildlife Encounters” reads as if watching high-res video footage projected in the imagination and narrated by a world-class poet.

Finn’s details are more real than truth, adding elements of human understanding to descriptions of the natural world that remarkably convey the imprints he possesses.

Resignation and working man’s blues in the blunt faces of bison, a crane in flight as “the old machinery of the world lifting into the sky.”
Finn’s encounters become ours.

-- Brian Juenemann
