A chapbook-length collection of poetry from an important voice that speaks to our challenging times. Mordenski's work is filled with undeciphered moons and the poetry of squirrels; the wise hesitation of love and the hard white bones of clouds; folksongs sung from branches and hunger translating into any language. Throughout her work, Mordenski's generous heart celebrates our connection to quiet yet profound miracles: embracing the personal (a father's assurance in the natural order of things) and the universal (a crow's brazen grace as it wakes the sun). With luminous precision and unwavering compassion for the animal world, the poems in Mordenski's menagerie-songs, of crows and cows, of squirrels and butterflies and (of course) dogs - glow with insight, lyricism, and grace.
