Wolf Tours

"These surreal searching poems nudge and gnaw us into a prescient view of our world." -Matthea Harvey, author of If the Tabloids Are True What Are You?

With Wolf Tours, Alyse Knorr creates a captivating world in which readers will encounter themes like climate change and grief, queer love, linguistics, and intercultural connection alongside a sentient pack of wolves in Colorado's southwest.
