"It is a dog that has killed again and again for you isn't it?"Author A.D.C writes poignant poetry that plants seeds of love, visceral surrealism, and reflection in the minds of readers. How do you overcome suffocating nightmares? Where does your love go when they've left? What is grief shaped like? All of these and more questions are explored in A.D.C's four-part poetry format through her chapters "Devotion," "The Others," "Unreality," and "Watchful."Grief Shaped Animal and Other Assorted Poems is a stunning start to A.D.C's public published works and a deep dive into what brings people and language together.
