The Emma Press Book of Beasts

Rustles and roars with the voices of animals and humans, co-existing on Earth with varying degrees of harmony. A scorpion appears in a shower; a deer jumps in front of a car. A swarm of snowfleas seethes through leaf litter; children bait a gorilla at the zoo.

The poems in this anthology examine hierarchy, herds, power, and the price we pay for belonging.
