GRIEF & OTHER ANIMALS (PAINE, PATTY)

"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
