Day after high school my graduation
I just walked in—
I found her looking
small—shoulders rounded
sitting in a thin-backed booth
at an all-night chain.
The coyote had leapt, she said.
—in a long stride, she said
a thin breath from the line
when the semi struck
And in a gust of fur
—gone.
It was so graceful, she said.
It was so close, she said.

Connor Wolfe (they/them) has spent 15 years helming Homebound Publications and Wayfarer Books (the publishing houses they founded in 2011). Wolfe’s visionary approach to indie publishing afforded them the opportunity to serve two terms on the Board of Directors for the Independent Book Publisher’s Association, speak on the TEDx stage at Yale University, and study at Harvard University via grant programs.
While at Harvard, Wolfe was fortunate enough to study Photojournalism under the mentorship of Samantha Appleton, (the Official White House Photographer for President Obama and the First Family).
Wolfe presently resides at Ghost Ranch in Abiquiu, New Mexico (on the lands of the Ancestral Pueblo) where they work as a NAGPRA-focused researcher. They serve as Creative Director for Wayfarer Books and Editor-in-Chief at Wayfarer Magazine. When not in New Mexico, Wolfe is roaming the still-wild country in search of new landscapes.
