[Linda] Rodriguez reminds us of how close Kansans are to animal life. Coyotes stalk fringes of cities and pasturelands. The adaptation of these wily beasts is instructive--we humans also learn environments quickly and well. We share animal qualities of stalking, shifting identities, and forming attachments. A coyote lover is a trickster who both attracts and frightens, like change. The coyote encounter leaves its mark.
Coyote Invades Your Dreams
from Denise Low: Ad Astra Poetry Project: Linda Lynette Rodriguez (1947 - )
