There is a rare precision here (as in observations of the human), and most of all there is a loaded (as in Emily's loaded gun) imagination finding its full voice. This is a splendid first book."</p><p>--Tom Lux, author of <em>To the Left of Time</em></p><p> </p><p>In <em>The Ghost of Lost Animals</em> Michelle Bonczek Evory says: <em>I don't know my own dark</em> and brings us into her wilderness, a place where love and violence draw each other out. Bonczek Evory's poems are hungry for experience, hungry for touch. They breathe--no, they pant--with urgency, restlessness, constant movement, and litanies of questions, as the poet explores the entanglements between humans and each other and humans and the world. In their headlong journey, these poems won't let the reader go.</p><p>--Ann Marie Macari, author of <em>She Heads into the Wilderness </em></p><p> </p><p>In her wonderful new collection <em>The Ghosts of Lost Animals</em>, Michelle Bonczek Evory weaves magic with sensuality, intelligence with animal hunger, cynicism with wonder. Her work will remind you of the work of many other poets, and also of nobody else. When I first started reading these poems, I thought: love child of Russell Edson and Kim Addonizio, but then that didn't seem quite right. The book seems to miraculously teeter between the passion that drives these poems and the discerning critical eye that keeps them tethered to the page. Reading this book is like eating a multi-course meal where each bite surprises, delights and satisfies.</p><br>
