In Wild Ruminations, Chaffee captures the stillness, wonder, and spiritual renewal found along the trails of the Santa Ritas. From encounters with black bears, jaguars, rattlesnakes, hawks, and ravens to intimate reflections on loss, gratitude, and belonging, these poems invite readers into a deep attentiveness to the natural world. With a keen eye for detail and a reverence for picturing what is seen, Chaffee offers poetry rooted in presence—where breath slows, routine falls away, and wildness is inhaled.
Whether hiking Old Baldy, the Super Trail, or Fern Creek, the poet finds both solitude and companionship, humor and humility, delivering what one reader calls "peace in unsettled times." This collection is a meditation on interconnectedness, a celebration of wilderness as sanctuary, and a reminder that meaning often waits just beyond the next bend in the trail.
A fitting follow-up to The Arizona Trail: Passages in Poetry, Wild Ruminations will resonate with lovers of nature poetry, hikers, spiritual seekers, and anyone longing for a deeper communion with the living world.
