In this career-defining work, Browning explores the breaking point every mind has after finding her own limit during a gauntlet of traumatic events. Pulled out of this blast-crater moment in her life by a friend, she is brought away from the insanity and deep into the snowy Sangre de Cristo Mountains where, standing in front of a herd of wild buffalo, she comes face to face with the terms we all must come to surrounding the loss we face in this life. Offering no answers and seeking no pity, Browning lays herself bare in this radically authentic offering. She carries restricted subjects such as miscarriage, mental illness, and suicide out of the silence by offering her own private journey as an example of the power of transcendence.

L.M. Browning (she/they) is a TEDx Speaker and bestselling poet whose work blends introspective travel writing with visual art, exploring the alchemy of trauma through awe-seeking and re-wilding. Their books have earned five Pushcart Prize nominations, two Foreword Review Book Awards, and Nautilus Gold and Silver Medals for Poetry. Browning served on the State of Connecticut/NAMI Lived Experience Committee (2022) and is nationally certified as a Survivor of Suicide Attempt (SOSA) Group Peer Facilitator through Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services. They are a graduate of Harvard University.
