These vivid, tender poems-- of earth and animal, pandemic and family, rage, longing, and sea-deep love-- urge us to remember and fight for our vital interconnectedness. \" How could I be any way but staggered?\" writes Pierce of the wild world, before acknowledging the paradox of loving the earth as it's dying: \" What I want is to know about endings and still love each wingbeat, each shade \/ of the boundless, darkening sky.\" Dear Beast is a love letter to our planet and its creatures, and a song of empathy for the beastly human animals that we are.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44842567893015,"sku":"9781947817920","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/71uylRIysCL._SL1364.jpg?v=1774640617","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/pierce-catherine-dear-beastpb","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
