Publisher's Synopsis
Spirit Animal Lessons captures the common moments in this blind curve thing we call life. Like hide and seek shafts of sun through trees, there are glimpses of difficult paths of our own making and the loss that shreds us when God blinks. You will find love; of self, of others, of the elegance and brutality of nature. The eponymous poem of this collection explores the constriction that we feel when our authentic self is put in a straitjacket. A microcosm of the extraordinary nature of the everyday, this collection holds these universal moments to the light and casts the prism created across the page.
