  • Summary

  • Tyler and Erika hear from an artist who uses composted deer bodies in her work, plus a hunter-artist making deep connections between herself, her audience, and the animals she kills. And then we find a connection of our own by scraping the flesh from a deer hide in Erika’s backyard. Along the way: deer stories, poetry, and more.
