“As Mark Surls writes in one of the subtle but throbbing poems that graces these pages, Coyote Conversations is a book built on compassion. The author’s considered words and photographic eye match the poetry of his canid subject, America’s ultimate survivor. And Surls is right: the coyote deserves all the empathy we can offer. And admiration, too. This book is a fine place to develop both.” —Dan Flores, best-selling author of Coyote America and Wild New World

 "Coyote Conversations is a sumptuous treat for the senses and a gift to our underappreciated and much maligned wild song dogs—and for anyone who appreciates wild and poetic beauty." —Camilla Fox, Founder and Executive Director of Project Coyote

"Mark Surls’s insightful and eloquent poems combined with his beautiful photographs provide an unusual and alluring glance into the life of America's song dog." —Marc Bekoff, PhD, Biologist and Author
