Reading Animalities is like inhaling and exhaling innumerable versions of life--and like life, these poems embrace "carnage and joy" "the sun on the horizon bleeding.../ where the loons swim in it by moonlight still laughing." The curious juxtaposition of the familiar with the surreal--"the flaming peonies," "black lemons floating on white water."--contemplates the question, "Why is there something instead of nothing?" PRAISE FOR DAVID DODD LEE "Highly dynamic, irreverent, subversive, and driven by a kinetic music that often breaks into riot..."-Nick Sturm, The Laurel Review "Obsessively, elegantly, poignantly, David Dodd Lee immerses himself in the mysterious intercourse of self and place."--Franz Wright
