Hood. Along the way we encounter coyotes, buffalo, dragonflies, and other natural wonders. As the narrator, often with a dog at her side, explores canyons, deserts, and mountains, her observations are keen, whether describing the scent of a ponderosa pine, the movement of water, or the stealth of owls hunting. In the tradition of writers such as Muir and Thoreau, Wiedemann's exquisite work urges us to cherish the wilderness and dare to immerse ourselves in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eKen Autrey\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, author, \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eCirculation\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have never stood alone in vast, quiet spaces. I could suggest that I follow the writer into and visit them here in this collection. But the poems say that perhaps there's no such thing anyway.

When the warnings finally come about the fragility of such a world, we can heed them and begin to act or, sadly, grieve.

The poems are direct, sparse, and intensely personal, while also generously human and gorgeously vivid, like the mountains, rivers, and canyons she so precisely describes. Each a distinct moment of connection, or loss, or simply of reverence, these poems create an unforgettable experience of the power that the earth wields over our souls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eKent Quaney\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, author, \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eOne Breath from Drowning\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 98\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.23 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 03, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47965064757469,"sku":"9781639808014","price":32.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/zPRPyRlYOH9781639808014.webp?v=1779846824","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/following-the-snow-leopard-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
