by Rosalie Sanara Petrouske (Author)
1st Place Winner of The Poetry Box Chapbook Prize, 2022
In Tracking the Fox, Rosalie Sanara Petrouske weaves a tale of family ties and history. The poems are steeped in her Native American heritage and in the natural lore her Ojibwe father taught her. Skilled in descriptive writing, she allows the readers to see waterfalls, hear winds howling, and smell delicate flowers in full bloom. They will walk with her and her father through fields of native grasses, along snowy animal tracks, and down wooded paths. As you read these poems, Tracking the Fox, draws you into Rosalie's story and leaves you a little closer to the natural world.
Early Praise:
"Tracking the Fox gives us poems to read and reread, both for the beauty of their immersion in nature and for the way they help to dissolve 'deep...ancestral pain.'"-Dr. Terry Bohnhorst Blackhawk, author One Less River, Kresge Arts in Detroit Literary Fellow
"I admire Petrouske's voice, for it holds tension, making the reader eager for every reverberating, often haunting, ending."-Janine Certo, author of O Body of Bliss, winner, Longleaf Press Book Contest in Poetry (2022)
"Take these [poems] outside and sit with them and you will be all the better for it. These heal what needs healing."-Michael Delp, Co-editor of Made in Michigan, Wayne State University Press
