animals the size of dreams

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 oct 2009

As a psychologist, Lisa C. Krueger is familiar with digging into what makes us human. The joys and celebrations or the pain of what cuts the skin—and what cuts deeper. In animals the size of dreams, Krueger looks into the dark corners and, instead of just shining a light, strips them down to their foundations, until all that’s left is life.

Recenzii

Lisa C. Krueger's poems cradle "brutal sounds of self, / what must be heard, / what said." Whether the focus is a child who cuts herself to make sure she's alive or the mother who cannot see her daughter's wounds, this poet responds with deep empathy—listening and speaking. This book deals with the helplessness of a mother witnessing a child's suffering until the thousand cranes her classmates fold soar on her last breath. These poems are as wild as a hawk in the kitchen, as nourishing as crusty loaves, hot from the oven.
—Peggy Shumaker

Lisa C. Krueger's second collection holds us close as a mother bears witness to her own child's mortality and to other forces that can tear the very framework of a home. These are poems of troubled harbor, where Krueger gives us an anchor amid the unimaginable. As a poet and psychologist, Krueger is a champion of creative fertility, the dark places, and the floral blossoming of human connection that makes the unfathomable bearable. A moving, inspirational, and life-affirming book.
—Jenny Factor

The world of Animals the Size of Dreams is full of anguish, redeemed by moments of beauty, transcendence, and hard-won understanding. In these concise, well-crafted meditations, Lisa C. Krueger faces pain head-on, and faces it down.
—Charles Harper Webb
