Coyote Conversations Book Launch Party

Mark Surls's book launch party hosted by Gallery 6 in Denver's Santa Fe Art District last weekend was a great success.

I was so honored to have many wildlife advocates, photographers, and admires along with fans of art and photography attend my book launch at Gallery 6. I am forever grateful to Scott Wilson and Amber Surls for their support throughout this venture. --Mark Surls

Mark's book Coyote Conversations: Photos and Poems from the Field provides dialogue and reflection on his time spent in the field with America’s ultimate survivor, the coyote. While many photographers focus on species that are easy to love such as elk and deer, Mark celebrates coyotes, beautiful too, albeit more difficult to live with. Throughout history, wild canids have gained an unfavorable view in much of the public eye. Wolves were exterminated in most of the USA, yet the coyote was able to survive. Trappings, killing contests, and hunts have only served to keep these sentient animals adapting. Serving as a reminder that predators have a purpose in life, Mark’s photography and poetry elicit compassion and reinforce the need for human-wildlife coexistence.

There will be a similar online version of his presentation in the new year with Project Coyote, so stay tuned!
