About the Book.
The Wilder Few is a mosaic of prose, poems, memoir, and character sketches examining what it is to live, dream, and die in the Rose City. Through a series of interlocking vignettes, the book explores families born into and built, the spellbinding music of the natural world, and how the past informs each moment of the present.
It's a quilt of words stitched together in tribute to the souls that stubbornly refuse to be tamed, and a love song to the redemptive power of art in all its forms. Above all, it's a celebration of the bald beauty of being alive.
