Bristling with pain, wit, desire, and tenderness, these poems investigate not only \"the daily harms\" of an abusive childhood, but the deep solace non-human animals can offer.

Line by crackling line, image by unforgettable image. Contemplating her bruised knees in the poem \"Given,\" she asks, \"Is there a way to make it wonderful?\" \u003cem\u003eGhost Dogs\u003c\/em\u003e provides us an answer, a resounding yes. --Ellen Bass \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 106\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 17, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52516819894579,"sku":"9781947896239","price":24.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/L1laT05KNWg5REJWZ3NFSWVpQVF4Zz09.webp?v=1760435819","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/ghost-dogs-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
