ABOUT THE BOOK
“These surreal searching poems nudge and gnaw us into a prescient view of our world.” -Matthea Harvey, author of If the Tabloids Are True What Are You?

With Wolf Tours, Alyse Knorr creates a captivating world in which readers will encounter themes like climate change and grief, queer love, linguistics, and intercultural connection alongside a sentient pack of wolves in Colorado’s southwest. This novel-in-verse is steeped in wildness and a true reverence for the natural world and those that inhabit it, including Rodney, our narrator and tour guide.
Readers join this unique eco-tourism company run by a pack of sentient wolves, offering life-changing adventures for humans seeking a deeper connection with nature. Rodney, on a journey of self-discovery herself, and grappling with a recent heartbreak struggles to connect with tour participants despite desperately wanting to. Knorr writes with sensitivity and creativity, weaving a tapestry of lyrical and inventive verse, while Rodney and the tour group navigate the wilderness and a changing landscape together.
