Through formal poetry, DeWoskin finds sense amid disorder and unearths connections between the animal and the human, between the ancient and the contemporary, and between languages, incorporating translations from poems dating as far back as the Tang dynasty. From sonnet sequences about heart surgeries to examinations of vole romance and climate change, \u003ci\u003e absolute animal\u003c\/i\u003e investigates and moves across boundaries and invites us to consider what holds life, what lasts, what dies, and what defines and enriches the experience of being human. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226829050\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80","brand":"Rachel DeWoskin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43204914348213,"sku":"9780226829050","price":16.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_ca49a7c6-0de5-4e59-ba5e-110029805c02.jpg?v=1698126658","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/absolute-animal-9780226829050","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
