OK - no 20th C. poetry fans?

Answer in spoiler, in case you're still thinking.
Spoiler:

Stevie Smith - "Not Waving But Drowning"
If you've never read her poetry, you're in for a treat. Very wry, sharply observed poems - many illustrated with line drawings by Smith. Reminds me very much of Margaret Atwood's poetry.


Otherwise, someone want to restart the thread in a more "prosaic" manner?

Somewhere to the eastward a wolf howled; lightly, questioningly. I knew the voice, for I had heard it many times before. It was George, sounding the wasteland for an echo from the missing members of his family. But for me it was a voice which spoke of the lost world which once was ours before we chose the alien role; a world which I had glimpsed and almost entered...only to be exclued, at the end, by my own self.
This ones easy, I think the first person to read this post will get it

Yeah, I don't know either. At first I thought it was White Fang or Call of the Wild (I get them confused), but I'm pretty sure neither dog/wolf was named George.

Wow! I thought this would get snatched up within minutes


A hint would be the Writer even though they label the book Non-Fiction definitely stretched a few things, and is quite famous for it.

I'll come back after a few posts to see if any has got it yet.

So the last gave me enough for a educated guess. I've never read this book, but did really enjoy the film. Never Cry Wolf by Farley Mowat?

This sounds familiar. I know I've read it, but I just can't place it.

You're not the only one going nyarrrrghhhh with familiarity. I'm sure this is going to be a head-smacking revelation when someone gets it.

Definitely southern USA - but not Faulkner. Eudora Welty?

Poohbear_nc has the location correct. Here's help with the time:
