Grief & Other Animals - Paperback

by Patty Paine (Author)

"Elegy, in making grief a living thing, brings the dead back to life. But elegy is also how we ask ourselves to accept, a touching of the wound to accustom ourselves to pain. This stunning book both resurrects and more truly buries, and does what the best poetry does--shows me the world of another, and in doing so, brings me closer to my own. I feel bitten by these haunted poems." --Bob Hicok
