The animals, insects, and plants that populate these poems--alive or dead, thriving or in decline--provide startling gateways into explorations of human existence. Dimock's poems examine memory, culture, and the fundamental yearning that comes with being alive through a joyously dizzy array of extended metaphors and associations. These are poems that speak to the fundamental dignity of the living, and celebrate the emotional and intellectual flora and fauna of the everyday.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e -James Brubaker, author of \u003cem\u003eThe Taxidermist's\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e Catalog\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eBlack Magic Death \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e Sphere: (science) fictions.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Honest, clear sighted, and masterfully written, this is a beautiful and important book which gives voice to the creatures that we love and may lose.
