In Animal Purpose, Michelle Y. Burke explores the lives of men and women as they stand poised between the desire to love and the compulsion to harm. In one poem, a woman teaches a farmhand the proper way to slaughter a truckload of chickens. In another, a couple confronts the recent loss of a loved one when a stranger makes an unexpected confession in a crowded restaurant. Set in both rural and urban spaces, these poems challenge received ideas about work, gender, and place. Danger blurs into beauty and back again. Burke scours the hard edges of the world to find "fleeting softness," which she wishes "into the world like pollen that covers everything."

Burke explores the lives of men and women as they stand poised between the desire to love and the compulsion to harm. In one poem, a woman teaches a farmhand the proper way to slaughter a truckload of chickens. In another, a couple confronts the recent loss of a loved one when a stranger makes an unexpected confession in a crowded restaurant. Set in both rural and urban spaces, these poems challenge received ideas about work, gender, and place.There are animals aplenty - marauding owls, dying dogs, acting horses trailered into Brooklyn for a television miniseries. There are Vikings yanking the lungs from victims, then spreading them open behind their backs to resemble wings. Danger blurs into beauty and back again. Burke scours the hard edges of the world to find fleeting softness, which she wishes into the world like pollen that covers everything. inventory #42723. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers z42723
