wolf mutter

wolf mutter traverses psychogeography, hybrid persona, and narratives of intergenerational and ecological trauma and connection in the high-desert and alpine landscapes of Colorado. Conceived during a period of maternal grief and a two-year study of the extermination and reemergence of gray wolves in the Southern Rockies, this poetic sequence is articulated from research, interviews with wolf biologists, a writing retreat in wolf territory along the Colorado-Wyoming border, and inspiration/collaboration with other poets writing into deep ecology and the Anthropocene. wolf mutter speaks urgently to our capacities for personal, collective, and interspecies survival in a rapidly changing world with dynamic form, vivid imagery, and intimate familiarity.

K. Blasco Solér lives in Gainesville and teaches writing and literature at the University of Florida while researching the borderless relations between land, water, and cultural memory. K's poetry is informed by an upbringing in Alaska, a background in science writing, and a recent study of intergenerational trauma and the reemergence of the gray wolf in the Southern Rockies. K completed her MFA in creative writing and poetics from Naropa University's Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics.
