Author Description

Oriana Rodman writes the haunted New Mexico landscape with elegiac familiarity. Her prose is beautiful. Her pace moves purposefully, like a surviving wolf, ranging through the Caja del Rio. Rodman skillfully renders the wolf's point of view, foiled by an unsuspecting community of humans. These artfully exhibited stories remind us of the binding force of Nature, and the human capacity to futilely overlook that bond. - Ken Hada, author of Contour Feathers, winner of the Oklahoma Book Award
