Bristling with pain, wit, desire, and tenderness, these poems investigate not only \"the daily harms\" of an abusive childhood, but the deep solace non-human animals can offer. In vivid, sensual detail, O'Reilly conjures her companions: mastiffs with \"sad, sagging faces,\" a beloved chestnut mare's \"glowing coat,\" a green parrot who has managed to \"fill a space in the chaos.\" She doesn't sugarcoat or flinch from suffering--her own or others'--she transforms it. Line by crackling line, image by unforgettable image. Contemplating her bruised knees in the poem \"Given,\" she asks, \"Is there a way to make it wonderful?\" \u003cem\u003eGhost Dogs\u003c\/em\u003e provides us an answer, a resounding yes. --Ellen Bass \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-13155604\"\u003eDion O'Reilly\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Terrapin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/17\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.25d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781947896239\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1947896237\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LAN\"\u003eLanguage Arts \u0026amp; Disciplines\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LAN005070\"\u003eWriting | Poetry\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POE\"\u003ePoetry\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POE005010\"\u003eAmerican | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FAM\"\u003eFamily \u0026amp; Relationships\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FAM001010\"\u003eAbuse | Child Abuse\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Terrapin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43845307957387,"sku":"9781947896239","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/5100\/7115\/files\/img_f2882858-9ef0-4d2f-b23c-478be394a0cc.jpg?v=1755879010","url":"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/ghost-dogs-9781947896239","provider":"CA Corrections Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
