Death

From the Series: Lexicon for an Anthropocene Yet Unseen. By Maria Whiteman

June 28, 2017

Visitors to our national parks arrive burdened with a desire that is unnerving despite (or perhaps, because of how common) it has become. This is the desire to encounter the bodies of wild animals. For most, it is enough to catch a glimpse of an animal moving through the forest or escaping into the underbrush. For others, the pull of animal bodies is so powerful that they want contact: closer, closer still, moving forward in hope, fear, anticipation, and expectation.
