About this product
Product Information
In Animal Purpose, Michelle Y. Burke explores the lives of men and women as they stand poised between the desire to love and the compulsion to harm. In one poem, a woman teaches a farmhand the proper way to slaughter a truckload of chickens. In another, a couple confronts the recent loss of a loved one when a stranger makes an unexpected confession in a crowded restaurant. Set in both rural and urban spaces, these poems challenge received ideas about work, gender, and place. Danger blurs into beauty and back again. Burke scours the hard edges of the world to find "fleeting softness," which she wishes "into the world like pollen that covers everything."

Reviews
"Michelle Burke's lovely Animal Purpose delights when the human animal and the other animals align their often contrary spirits. Burke writes lyrically and searchingly about the purposes of us all--human and nonhuman animal--in this fine, fascinating, and constantly surprising book."--Andrew Hudgins, author of American Rendering: New and Selected Poems, The Joker: A Memoir, and others, "Burke's stunning first collection transforms the echoes of the pastoral tradition into complex contemporary terrain in a voice that is both subtle and urgent. Underlying these meditations is a wariness of easy philosophies about the relationship between humans and the rest of the natural world. There is abundance here, a specificity in her imagery and cadences that makes this book an engaging and emotionally potent exploration of environment and self." --Danielle Cadena Deulen , Burke's stunning first collection transforms the echoes of the pastoral tradition into complex contemporary terrain in a voice that is both subtle and urgent. Underlying these meditations is a wariness of easy philosophies about the relations|9780821421987|, "Elegant and emblematic as the beasts inhabiting Burke's Animal Purpose , these poems ask impossible questions of love, death, and the all too human constructs meant to manage both. What a painfully beautiful debut this is." --Kathy Fagan, "Burke's tender and brave poems refuse to turn away from the cruelties of the world, both the kind we endure and the kind we unwittingly inflict--and yet, even as they bear witness, they insist on joy. And tilt towards hope. And pry beauty from unlikely places."--Lia Purpura, "Michelle Burke's lovely Animal Purpose delights when the human animal and the other animals align their often contrary spirits. Burke writes lyrically and searchingly about the purposes of us all--human and nonhuman animal--in this fine, fascinating, and constantly surprising book." --Andrew Hudgins, author of American Rendering: New and Selected Poems, The Joker: A Memoir, and others, "[Burke] has an exceptional ability to translate a common animal into a vision or metaphor with restraint via dignified stanzas that credit the materialized world of creatures." -- Grace Cavalieri, Washington Independent Review of Books, "[Burke] has an exceptional ability to translate a common animal into a vision or metaphor with restraint via dignified stanzas that credit the materialized world of creatures."--Grace Cavalieri, Washington Independent Review of Books, "Burke's stunning first collection transforms the echoes of the pastoral tradition into complex contemporary terrain in a voice that is both subtle and urgent.

There is abundance here, a specificity in her imagery and cadences that makes this book an engaging and emotionally potent exploration of environment and self."--Danielle Cadena Deulen, "Michelle Y. Burke has a splendid imagination, yet her poems are grounded in the quotidian. She knows how to pick, from the world, the just-right opposite of quotidian. Deeply satisfying turns happen throughout Burke's poems--they are never forced, and surprise never diminishes what is inevitable and true." --Thomas Lux, author of Selected Poems 1982-2012 and To the Left of Time, "Elegant and emblematic as the beasts inhabiting Burke's Animal Purpose, these poems ask impossible questions of love, death, and the all too human constructs meant to manage both. What a painfully beautiful debut this is."--Kathy Fagan

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
