These poems explore the inner landscapes of both the human and animal realms, revealing them to be points along the same spectrum. At the heart of the book lies an extended study of toxic storytelling as an element of warcraft, but Barry also contemplates the death of a Buddhist master, the plight of migrants both at home and abroad, the ethics of travel and consumption, and the larger question of how and why we construct a self in order to navigate the world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuan Barry\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of three previous poetry collections: \u003ci\u003eAsylum\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Agnes Lynch Starrett Poetry Prize; \u003ci\u003eControvertibles;\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWater Puppets, \u003c\/i\u003e winner of the Donald Hall Prize in Poetry.
