Animal Eye reminds us that we don’t know the limits of empathy, that we can’t presume we’re the only beings who recognize the familiar in another’s gaze. What we recognize as familiar continually changes as we change, and we change by looking. And what is looking but the taking in of reflected light?

In acknowledging the disappointing facts of our existence and singing her way into its amazement, she has created poetry that lives alongside the misery we sometimes witness—and sometimes cause.
