Praise for The Last Cows

“Kat Wilder knows cows in the way that leads her to write in an unlabored eloquence that expands bovine to define wild landscapes and deep love for a hardscrabble way of life. Disappointment is Wilder’s valley of contentment, and her writing will become the fortunate reader’s joy. The Last Cows sings with a sense of Westernness that lends itself to a longing for her arid country.”—J. DREW LANHAM, author of The Home Place: Memoirs of a Colored Man’s Love Affair with Nature

“In Kathryn Wilder’s new offering, The Last Cows, there are cows, several kinds of cows. . . . What I didn’t expect was an ecological journey of fine attunement to the land, to the elements, to the living inhabitants of the ranch area, and a penetrating spiritual awareness that can happen with the grueling everyday work that it takes to care for and run a cattle ranch in Disappointment Valley.”—JOY HARJO (Mvskoke), twenty-third U.S. poet laureate

“In beautifully crafted language, Kathryn Wilder gives us a genealogy of place that reminds us that the pulse of the earth—of all her creatures—was once indistinguishable from our own. Each hoofbeat, each fluttering wing and flash of fish, reminds us that we belong to the earth. Rooted to an ancient family, we are saplings struggling to survive. The Last Cows offers shade and life-giving water. Read each line as you might trace the tributaries of a river on her way to the ocean. Destiny, and our future, demands no less.”—PAGE LAMBERT, co-founder of Women Writing the West and author of In Search of Kinship
