Customer Reviews

Beautiful Poetry, Meaningful Topic

This collection moved me, poem after poem, both because the poems are so well-crafted and because the topic of animals is so meaningful. Each poet offers insights into how humans experience animals, be they literally or metaphorically our pets, our food, our touchstones to our spirits--and more. This collection never failed to touch me and to make me think. It also reminded me what great poetry can do.

All the Creatures

What a great book of poems. I keep re-reading them. If you love animals then you should own a copy of this book. I love these wonderful voices on this worthy subject. This book really spoke to me.

Highly recommended

This is a really good book. Usually topic anthologies feel like overkill but this one is really good. I was surprised by the quality of poems. You would expect poems on this topic to be polemic but they are very well done and don't feel polemic. As the introduction says, it sets good examples for student poets, too.
