<p>In this third collection Heather Durham invites you into the lush terrain of a feral human in relationship with the more-than-human world encountering new insights in the realms of folklore feminism ecophysiology mental illness and mysticism. Entering midlife as a single queer non-mothering hypersensitive forest-dwelling hermit in the midst of personal and cultural turmoil she finds herself continually engaged with the question <em>who am I</em> and in these essays discovers twenty unique profound visceral evocative and still-evolving answers. At once restless and rooted these lyric forays immerse in a single ecological landscape-in relationship with black bear and coyote cedar and hemlock water ouzel and chickadee salmon and stream-and yet they range far epic meanderings in the vast and changeable internal wilderness of a lifelong seeker. </p>
