Jesse Lee Kercheval writes with wit, vivid language, and
devastating honesty in these autobiographical poems. Tracing the
timelines of her life forward and backward, she offers a moving
examination of the role of family and the possible/probable/hoped
for existence of God - and how our perceptions of the divine can be
transformed from a kindergartner's dyslexically scrawled doG loves
U to the ever-present but oft-ignored Dog Angel of the title.
Ranging from a cross-country drive to bury her mother's ashes at
Arlington National Cemetery, to a family vacation in Spain, to an
imagined final exam given by her children, Kercheval explores the
vagaries of love, loss, faith, grief, and joy with a calm,
convincing wisdom that permeates this resonant and wonderful
collection.
