Animals
A collection of poems from 2008-2012. Animals' poems bring together stories of human interaction and habits. A group of poets discover a dead body in the wilderness; an unlucky man gets stuck with taking care of an unwanted guest; nosy neighbors discuss relationships and the dying; a pair of siblings hide out in the coat room of a party, trying on and discussing the lives of all of their guests. Animals is a selection of poems as much as an observation and study of the human ecosystem and economy of empathy.
