This short story was published in the Michigan Quarterly Review and received honorable mentions for the Mary Mackey Short Story Prize and the Writers At Work Fiction Fellowship, judged by Steve Almond. He had this to say about it:

“If you’d told me I had to read a story narrated by a coyote, I’d fear the worst. But this was astonishing. It creates its own vocabulary and manages to feel incredibly realistic, and moving. This is a story about independence and survival, the price of strength, and it’s more human than 99.9% of the stories I read that are actually about humans.”
