Shifting between pastoral passages on the beauty found in the desert and humorous tales of the humility of being a father, \u003ci\u003eRaising Wild \u003c\/i\u003eoffers an intimate portrait of a landscape where mountain lions and ground squirrels can threaten in equal measure. With Branch’s distinct lyricism and wit, this exceedingly barren landscape becomes a place resonant with the rattle of snakes, the plod of pronghorn antelope, and the rustle of juniper trees, a place that is teeming with energy, surprise, and an endless web of connections. Part memoir, part homage to an environment all-to-often brushed aside as inhospitable, \u003ci\u003eRaising Wild\u003c\/i\u003e offers an intergenerational approach to nature, family, and the forgotten language of \u003ci\u003ewildness\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"Roost Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44213761638655,"sku":"9781611804591","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781611804591_s600x595.jpg?v=1775596945","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781611804591","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
