SUSAN IMHOFF BIRD finds inspiration in Utah's stunning canyons, valleys and water-sculpted rock. Traveling in Asia, South America, and Europe has exposed her to varied cultures and societies, resulting in an award-winning short story and a book about humanitarian work in Nepal. A mom of three and owner of a gratitude-based business, she is fascinated by human interactions. When not writing, reading, trying to meditate, or attempting yoga asanas, she can be found on her bicycle or snowshoes, absorbing the wisdom of the natural world. And occasionally howling.
"Enormously personal and perceptive...a compelling wildlife study
that extends beyond familiar settings." --BOOKLIST
"Howl has all the depth, complexity, and moving power of that most
haunting of sounds: the howl of a wild wolf. Bird shows us that the
gap between tameness and wildness is not so far as it might seem,
and we ought to venture across to find out how wild feels." --15
BYTES
"An accessible, quick-paced read, Howl extends the reader's
imagination to see wolves and many other issues in perspectives he
or she might not have ever anticipated. Bird's book demonstrates
what creative nonfiction can accomplish in motivating a
disconnected citizenry to rediscover and rejuvenate its
relationship with nature and the non-human world." --THE UTAH

enduring story of (wo)man and beast." --DOUG PEACOCK, author of
