Step into the wild and sacred landscape of North Central Saskatchewan through Laurie Lynn Muirhead’s emotionally charged poetry collection, Coyote Snow.

With exquisite lyricism and a reverent eye, Muirhead captures the fierce beauty and fragile rhythms of a life entwined with the land, animals, and elemental forces. These poems are both a meditation and a reckoning—where cold meets spirit, survival meets grace, and readers find themselves transformed by the quiet miracles of the natural world. Don your winter boots and prepare to journey through the frosty, organic terrain of Coyote Snow.

Laurie Lynn Muirhead’s poetry shines as a rising star in the constellation of rural Canadian literature.

Excerpt

Regrettably

the time-loss of sharing gathers me unaware

that it is snowing now and I am cold

the coyotes are quiet and the colour is gone

my porch light, a small beacon of welcome

appeals to me

and I leave the secrets of this night where they belong

tomorrow I am assured

there will be two sets of tracks

in the coyote snow
