"Alive with terror, charm, and mystery." -- Madeleine Blais, author
of Uphill Walkers
When Catherine Reid returned to the Berkshires to live after
decades away, she became fascinated by another recent arrival: the
eastern coyote. This tenacious species, which shares some lineage
with the wolf, exhibits remarkable adaptability and awe-inspiring
survival skills. Coyotes have been spotted in nearly every
habitable area available, including urban streets, Central Park,
and suburban backyards.
Settling into an old farmhouse with her partner, Reid felt
compelled to learn more about this outlaw animal. Her beautifully
grounded memoir interweaves personal and natural history to comment
on one of the most dramatic wildlife stories of our time. With
great appreciation for this scrappy outsider and the ecological
concerns its presence brings to light, Reid suggests that we all
need to forge a new relationship with this uncannily intelligent
species in our midst.
"A captivating read, worthy of joining the pantheon of literary
ecological writing." -- Booklist
"Enlightening . . . a heartfelt, often poetic case for coexistence
between humans and the wild." -- Publishers Weekly
"Graceful, intimate, and vibrant prose . . . an important,
beautiful book." -- Jane Brox, author of Clearing Land
Catherine Reid is a naturalist, teacher, editor, and poet. She
lives in an old farmhouse in western Massachusetts.
