Hers was crumpled, roadside, in the ash-colored slush between asphalt and snowbank.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo begins Erica Berry's kaleidoscopic exploration of wolves, both real and symbolic. At the center of this lyrical inquiry is the legendary OR-7, who roams away from his familial pack in northeastern Oregon. While charting OR-7's record-breaking journey out of the Wallowa Mountains, Erica simultaneously details her own coming-of-age as she moves away from home and wrestles with inherited beliefs about fear, danger, femininity, and the body.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Erica chronicles her own migration-from crying wolf as a child on her grandfather's sheep farm to accidentally eating mandrake in Sicily-she searches for new expressions for how to be a brave woman, human, and animal in our warming world. What do stories so long told about wolves tell us about our relationship to fear? How can our society peel back the layers of what scares us? By strategically unspooling the strands of our cultural constructions of predator and prey, and what it means to navigate a world in which we can be both, Erica bridges the gap between human fear and grief through the lens of a wrongfully misunderstood species.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWolfish \u003c\/i\u003eis for anybody trying to navigate a world that is often scary.
