In the Bewilderment

In the Bewilderment is a contemplative collection of poems inspired by the tallgrass prairie and the restorative power of the natural world. Blending intimate reflections with vivid observations of wildlife, weather, seasons, and solitude, Ryan Kegley explores grief, wonder, belonging, spirituality, and the search for peace in an unsettled age. These poems move between prairie trails, forests, creeks, and quiet domestic moments, inviting readers to slow down and reconnect with what is essential. Both tender and expansive, In the Bewilderment offers a deeply human meditation on presence, stewardship, community, and the grace found in living attentively each day anew again.
