Informationen zum Autor Robert Wrigley is a recipient of numerous grants and fellowships. His sixth and most recent book, Lives of the Animals , won the 2004 Poets’ Prize.

We find ourselves inside a story of death and life, witness to acts of survival so primal they seem less instinctive than passionate.
