Poet Tova Feldmanstern captures why we crave wild places in “The Hushed Needle,” forthcoming this July in Deep Wild: Writing from the Backcountry:
into the quiet places
i go tumbling
after the cacophony
after the togetherness
after the once and forever loneliness
there is an urge to run
to be gone from the known world
vast and peopled
to find a precious nothing
thread the hushed needle
dig for blood
