Description: Winner of the 2009 Donald Hall Prize in Poetry A collection of lyric poems that address issues of death and personal crisis by filtering them through an obsession with monsters and animals.
Review Quotes: In this original and wonderfully energetic book, Bradley Paul moves from humor to mockery to play to anger to grief, and sometimes all at once. This poetry shifts, it slams, it hammers, it thinks; it corrodes our sorrow and foolishness; it captures our national haplessness, sad and firing and still.-- "Jean Valentine"
