Dog-gone Great,
By
This review is from: Where Dogs Dream (Hardcover)
Again, Kit Whitfield has managed to guide another of these expertly designed and dreamed books into being. Using a variety of editors, she has gathered amazing collections of short poetry into charming books - perfect for gift-giving. What I admire most is that she does not separate haiku and tanka out into a side channel, as is usually done with books in these genres, but integrates the English poems of these Japanese genres right beside short or partial English poems from such well-known authors (in the case of Where Dogs Dream) such as Emily Dickinson, John Muir, William Carlos Williams, Helen Keller, John Masefield, and Walt Whitman. Thus, in this company you will find Robert Spiess, Anita Virgil, Elizabeth Searle Lamb, and the editor, Kit Whitfield. I have endless applause for these efforts to integrate the genres in the name of enjoying poetry.In Where Dogs Dream, as you can imagine, the poems and the photographs are about - dogs. But the vision of the work goes beyond into reading the mind of a dog and our relationships with our dogs. The metaphysical is everywhere waiting on you to discover it. The perfect book to give or to pick up at odd moments for a Dalmatian spot of inspiration.
