This book offers a new paradigm for reading and appreciating
animals in literature and addresses how human culture views animals
in poetry. Part one sets up a theoretical overview and posits some
aesthetic and ethical ideals for transposing animals into art,
while part two presents a more focused practical application of
these ideals in one strain of animal poetry (as seen in the works
of Marianne Moore, Jose Emilio Pacheco, Gary Snyder, Pattiann
Rogers and others). The poetry analyzed in the book is respectfully
and non-invasively insightful into animals; it is tinged with a
distancing, and a kind of spiritual awe, regarding their existence.
