Red wolves and black bears

Thoughts on returning to the city after five months on a mountain where the wolves howled.

Howling back at the wolves.

A low-water man.

Bears, bears, bears.

Apocalypse enough: of newts and mice.

Heroes and footfalls.

A run of bad luck.

Pathos and perfection.

Writing wild.

Lament the red wolf.

That gorgeous great novelist.

City walking.

Where the action is.

But where is home?

Johnny Appleseed, bluegrass, egg creams.

Virginie and the slaves.

Nine small (literary) truths.

Dogs, and the tug of life.

Other lives.
