Both hymn and howl, Animal Logic speaks in the language of survival. Arah Ko concerns herself with how our world's glorious flora and fauna are watched, hunted, cared for, named, ready " to add them to the past and future bestiary, that record we living keep for the dead." These poems-- which consider the drift of jellyfish and the soar of blackbirds-- are " built for threat, recoiling from bear caves, cleaned bones, venomous tongues." In equal measures a work of ecocriticism and a study of human behavior, Animal Logic witnesses. It remembers. It resists.
