The Animals All Are Gathering

These poems address issues of death and personal crisis by filtering them through an obsession with monsters and animals. After a loss, the speaker of these poems tries to utilize different personae before turning his attention to the dreamlike animals that stalk him. Eventually, the speaker tries to resolve the conflicts among the figures by creating a cobbled-together garden in which they can coexist.
