Curtis and the Ghost Bone
5 days ago
I am a nature writer and educator who has lived all over the US and abroad, including many seasons working in Sequoia National Park. For now, I make my home in the New River Valley of southwestern Virginia at the confluence of the Blue Ridge and Appalachian Mountains. I currently teach courses in nature and environmental writing and creative nonfiction in Chatham University's low-residency MFA program. All my writing focuses on the intricacies of place and I am particularly interested in the portrayal of animals in folklore, myth, science, and natural and cultural history in order to meditate on the complexities of human-animal relationships.
That's a sad indictment on the people of Idaho. It seems their main concern is that the wolves are taking part of the hunter's share of the elk. So what happens when the balance is so skewed that all that is left to be hunted is ourselves?
