Lives of the Animals

<i>Lives of the Animals</i> takes us to that place where the boundaries between predator and prey the observer and the observed merge reverse become re-imagined. We find ourselves inside a story of death and life witness to acts of survival so primal they seem less instinctive than passionate. And it is passion that most informs these poems: the bond between lovers between parent and child between humans and other animals both wild and domestic that populate our shared world of hunger and need.
