The poems in this first full collection from New Zealand's Janis Freegard are categorized by Linnaean taxonomy: the six sections Mammalia, Aves, Amphibia, Pisces, Insecta, and Vermes are interspersed with a seven-part poem on the topic of Carolus Linneaus himself. Here Freegard catalogs the various fantastic and artistic, anthropomorphic and objective, rational and self-serving ways that humans draw on the animal world: as symbol and allegory, food and friend, ravening enemy, and sacred icon. From surreal prose poems to gorgeous listsfeaturing a stuffed Maori dog, murderous magpies, and cake-shop cockroachesFreegard's verse reflects the diversity of the animal kingdom and its light-hearted fancifulness belies a strong commitment to conservation.
