| Summary: | Stories and poems deal with coyotes, lions, ants, cats, donkeys, horses, hawks, plants, and rocks. "A spirited, gracefully polemical introduction and the final story, "She Unnames Them," frame this collection of fiction and poetry, placing it in a natural but unsentimental light. These are not really "talking animal" stories: they are about human apprehension of natural creation (including rocks and plants) and the relations this apprehension governs; or, how communication makes communities. Seven of ten stories and seven of 19 poems having already been published, while a couple of pieces read like working drafts. Among the best pieces is the title story; like many of the others, it works its effect through a reversal of the usual (human) point of view."-- Patricia Dooley, formerly with Drexel Univ., Philadelphia, viewed on Amazon.com viewed June 25, 2020. |
