## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A Harrowing Poetic Experience
  

*by C***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 23, 2009*

This is a brutal collection of poems based in an animal shelter.  Salerno offers no dewey-eyed kittens or romping puppies.  This is the dark side of life in a large shelter, and Salerno spares no image in depicting the harsh reality of life for these animals.  She also depicts the lonely, somewhat desperate lives of the shelter workers, and how petty office politics can invade almost any environment.  These poems are grim, sparse, depressing, and occasionally beautiful.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A beautiful and touching look into a unexpected subject
  

*by J***J on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 14, 2020*

I absolutely loved this book - it tapped into a place and a subject matter that was completely unexpected as a place someone might think of as “poetic”. In my mind art evokes emotion. Did I cry? Absolutely. Do I think about this book almost every day? Absolutely. Rarely does a work of art make me feel or think as much as this one did and to me, that is what poetry is all about.

### ⭐ 







  
  
    Boring and depressing.
  

*by C***B on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 7, 2018*

I was looking forward to reading these poems because I am an animal lover and I love strong, honest poetry. I read the first few and couldn't continue. They were depressing and boring. The author repeated the same theme constantly. Don't waste your money on this book.
