Description
“Creaturely, like its subjects, eludes definition. It’s a book of exquisite essays–or are they prose poems–that tessellate into something larger: a meditation, perhaps, or a vision. Johnston’s subject is at once the absolute otherness of the creatures with whom we share the world’s everyday spaces–dogs, owls, mice, squirrels, crows–and the worth of our attempts to get to know them. Modest, calm, and beautiful, this is an exceptional book.”–Robert Macfarlane Devin Johnston teaches at St. Louis University. He was named a finalist for the 2008 National Book Critics Circle Award for Sources, published by Turtle Point Press.
