The Gift of Animals: Poems of Love, Loss, and Connection

What a beautiful collection of poetry and illustrations! The intros to each section are wonderful, and it's easy to read one section at a time. I thought it would be weird to read Gerard Manley Hopkins and then Joy Harjo a few pages later, but Deming has done an excellent job editing this collection to flow smoothly.

I requested this specifically for Aimee Nezhukumatathil, but I got so much more than I expected.

Thanks to NetGalley and Storey for the digital ARC!
