Find love, loss, and all manner of plant and beast in Clara Bush Vadala's debut collection of poems, Prairie Smoke: Poems from the Grasslands. The poems in this book whisper of longing, of hope, and of a fragile world which still blooms with the beauty of perseverance. Follow Vadala as she searches for "home" in the tallgrass prairies of the north, in the language of landscape the native tongue of Texas, and the wildness of North America's own megafauna, the moose. Even as these poems explore the ethereal quality of animals, from toads to moose, roadside skunk to elusive black bear, the human presence is ever felt and closely examined. "Longing" invites the reader to feel the need for companionship even in the tranquility of nature, "Three Things" imparts the necessity of keeping to ourselves, even as we long to explore the world around us. Open Prairie Smoke: Poems from the Grasslands to discover the natural history of the prairie, as told by the creatures within.

Autorenporträt
Clara Bush Vadala grew up in Celina, Texas, and also in campsites across the state on family summer trips and camping with friends. She found her writing spark at Texas Tech University, studying to go to vet school while earning a degree in Environment and the Humanities. She credits her undergraduate major and parent's musical genes (rocker dad) and poetic tendencies (award-winning poet mom) for her love of poetry and the musicality and lyricism of nature writing. Animals have also played a major role in discovering and exploring wildness, a theme she also explores in her writing and her professional life. Clara is currently a veterinary student at Texas A&M University's College of Veterinary Medicine, studying small animal and exotic veterinary medicine. She has pets of her own too, who serve as daily inspiration and animal therapy: her two dogs, Lulu and Zeus; her cat, Treble; her cockatiel, Kenneth; and an array of tropical fish. Prairie Smoke: Poems from the Grasslands is Clara's first full-length book of poetry.
