Gabriela Halas
In Halas’ collection, we follow wolf tracks, brown bear prints, and the ghost-breath of elk to get in close to the tender things that make us human: new life, loss, language, music and the fresh, green earth. Halas expertly uses sound, white space, and perspective to show us how “something the size of an atom can have the mass of a mountain.”
– Andrea Scott, author of In the Warm Shallows of What Remains
