"Our relationships with animals are haunted by death. It lingers in
the liminal space of the soul in grief--in painful recognition when
a beloved cat, rabbit, parrot, or dog passes; in the confused
stricken anonymity of worldwide extinctions; and in the palpable
suffering behind factory walls. In its lyrical marriage of personal
experience and scholarship, Mourning Animals brings together the
beauty, love, and exquisite poignancy of what it means to live with
animal kin."
--G. A. Bradshaw, author of Elephants on the Edge and director of
the Kerulos Center
