lizaroo71's review against another edition
4.0
Mark Doty wrote a memoir [book:Dog Years: A Memoir|3195195] some years ago that I found so moving. His use of language is impressive. His connection to his animals admirable.
This collection of poems has several that pay homage to past dogs and friends that have died.
Letter to God is a favorite. This is really a clever explanation for how dogs greet one another.
There are some beautiful lines contained within the poems. Some poems are a bit more abstract, but when Doty sticks to the concrete and corporeal the poems are satisfying.

I am not a big fan of poetry, but after hearing Doty read at Rowan, I bought this. I really enjoyed it.
