Excerpt from Emma Paris's 'The First Wolf Back in Yellowstone'

They threw her in Yellowstone to save it–

to control the deer, work unpaid, change rivers,

supply some lower class, but hey, top

of the food chain, return vegetation, moss, bio-

diversity, genuine hunger. She ran wild currents

and as soon as she strayed, they turned

off the safety and set gunmen out like toys.
