Dr. Itard's Journal Entry-- June 12, 1986

Victor, who was named The Wild Boy of Domtar (or "Wolf Boy", as he became known in the popular imagination), was discovered in the Manitoba countryside in 1985. Domtar is in the South of Canada, and the villagers captured a boy of about 11 or 12 who had been running wild and naked, even though it was winter.

His body was marked with scars where he had fought with animals and been scratched due to his nakedness. Although the villagers tried to speak with Victor, he didn’t seem to pay attention to what was said, and so it was apparent he didn’t know any language.

At first people thought he was deaf and mute.

All he was interested in was trying to escape.

kidWolf, a.k.a. wolf boy, has joined the fray of the AlfA blog. Wolf boy emerged from the fields of the domtar plant, east of winnipeg, at age 13, and has since been in the care of I, his doctor.

all attempts to "socailize" our friend wolf boy have failed, despite years of patient instruction. he remains in our secret lab, barely able to communicate beyond grunts, barks, and body language.

Desiring Happiness

"I have been given a unique role to play on this earth:
given to me by a life filled with sickness, ill-starred
circumstances and my profession as an artist. It is a life that
contains nothing that resembles happiness, and moreover does
not even desire happiness."

Hope

Hoping in the place
of cool breeze
and
where
desire can burn
expect
believe
wonder
the yearning
and where it went

Recompense

I imagine your hand on
my neck
daydreaming could
go either way
depending on
the day
spent
sitting on the floor
with stomach
aches
like some pin cushion
